Restoration of Concrete Pavement Using the NCHRP 1-37A Design Guide

Concrete pavement restoration (CPR) of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) has evolved over the past 40 years into a major preservation treatment. These projects often involve several different types of activities such as replacement and/or repair of cracked slabs, spall repair, joint load transfer restoration, joint resealing, subdrainage improvement, diamond grinding, and shoulder replacement. These projects have usually been successful in extending the service life of the pavement for many years into the future. However, these projects have been developed based on practical experience and guidelines, as there has not been a formal design procedure available. The new National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 1-37A Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) Pavement Design Guide includes a formal design procedure for CPR that can be used to assist highway agencies in the evaluation of feasible applications of CPR and the design of more reliable restoration projects. This paper provides an overview of this design procedure by means of a case study.
