THIN CONCRETE OVERLAY FOR RESIDENTIAL STREETS

TO TEST THE FEASIBILITY OF USING THIN CONCRETE OVERLAY IN A RESIDENTIAL LOCATION, A TEST SITE WAS CHOSEN ADJACENT TO AN ASPHALT OVERLAY WHICH COULD SERVE AS A CONTROL SECTION FOR EVALUATION. BRASS COATED AND PLAIN STEEL FIBERS WERE USED AND THE ADDING PROCEDURE IS DESCRIBED. TRANSIT MIX TRUCKS DUMPED WET CONCRETE ON THE PAVEMENT AHEAD OF THE FINISHER, THE PAVEMENT HAVING BEEN PREVIOUSLY WET DOWN. PROCEDURAL DETAILS ARE OUTLINED AND PERFORMANCE OVER A 6-MONTH PERIOD IS DISCUSSED. RELIABLE COST DATA ARE NOT AVAILABLE. A SERIES OF QUESTIONS ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE MIX, PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED, AND DEVELOPMENT OF STRENGHTS ARE ANSWERED.
