Preservation and Rehabilitation of Urban Concrete Pavements Using Thin Concrete Overlays: Solutions for Joint Deterioration in Cold Weather States

The purpose of this guide is to provide a resource for pavement owners, designers, and contractors to design and construct successful thin (≤ 5-in.) concrete overlays, both bonded and unbonded, as a longer-term (15 years of more) preservation solution for concrete pavements with prematurely deteriorating joints. It covers topics such as selecting appropriate candidate pavements for such an overlay and designing and constructing thin overlays in urban areas. It also summarizes several case studies. This guide is a companion document to the Guide to Concrete Overlays: Sustainable Solutions for Resurfacing and Rehabilitating Existing Pavements, Third Edition (2014), and Guide to the Design of Concrete Overlays Using Existing Methodologies (2012).
