CONTINUOUSLY-REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA AFTER EIGHT YEARS SERVICE

AN EXPERIMENTAL CONTINUOUSLY-REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT ONE MILE IN LENGTH WAS CONSTRUCTED IN CALIFORNIA IN 1949. AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT REMAINS IN GOOD CONDITION. ADJACENT SECTIONS OF NON-REINFORCED JOINTED PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTED AT THE SAME TIME ARE ALSO IN RELATIVELY GOOD CONDITION, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A MODERATE AMOUNT OF FAULTING AT A FEW JOINTS. THE EXPERIMENTAL PAVEMENT HAS NOT REACHED SUFFICIENT AGE TO WARRANT COMPARISON WITH NON- REINFORCED PAVEMENT ON AN ECONOMIC BASIS. /AUTHOR/
