BONDED RESURFACING AND REPAIRS OF CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES BONDED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION AND ITS VARIOUS APPLICATIONS TO PAVEMENTS AND IT ILLUSTRATES THE ESSENTIAL STEPS IN SURFACE PREPARATION AND CONSTRUCTION. RESURFACING OR PATCHING OF CONCRETE PAVEMENTS WITH BONDED CONCRETE HAS PROVEN TO BE FEASIBLE. WHEN THE PURPOSE IS ONLY TO EVEN UP ROUGH SURFACES, A THIN RESURFACING LAYER WILL PERFORM AS WELL AS A THICKER SLAB PROVIDED THAT ADEQUATE BOND IS OBTAINED BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW CONCRETE. IN MANY CASES, USE OF THE THINNER OVERLAY AVOIDS THE PROBLEM OF ADJUSTMENT OF GRADES ON THE PERIMETER OF THE RESURFACING.
