PRELIMINARY REPORT ON CONTINUOUSLY-REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT IN OREGON
THE EXPERIENCE IN OREGON WITH CONTINUOUSLY-REINFORCED PAVEMENTS HAS BEEN RATHER ENCOURAGING, BASED ON PRESENT EVIDENCE. OF THE TWO PAVEMENTS OF THIS TYPE CONSTRUCTED DURING 1962-1963, ONE HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO TRAFFIC AND THE OTHER HAS BEEN OPEN TO TRAFFIC FOR ONLY 3 MO AT THE TIME OF WRITING. THE DESIGN USED IS PROBALLY RATHER CONSERVATIVE. TWO PAVEMENT FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE MAJOR PROJECT, BUT THEY ARE APPARENTLY UNRELATED TO THE TYPE OF PAVEMENT. THERE ARE NO FURTHER SIGNS OF DISTRESS. ALTHOUGH THESE PAVEMENTS HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT MORE EXPENSIVE ON THE BASIS OF FIRST COSTS, THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED IN OREGON IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT TO WARRANT ANY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE LONG-TERM ECONOMICS OF THIS TYPE OF PAVEMENT AS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL TYPES. /AUTHOR/
