Thin Whitetopping—the Colorado Experience

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) started experimenting with thin whitetopping (TWT) in the 1990s. CDOT has constructed many successful TWT projects and has conducted several studies to develop design and construction guidelines for TWT. One of these studies, co-funded under the Concrete Pavement Technology Program (CPTP), which operates in the Federal Highway Administration's Infrastructure Office of Pavement Technology, resulted in a mechanistic-based design procedure for TWT. This TechBrief provides details of CDOT's experience with TWT.
