RIGID PAVEMENT REPAIR TECHNIQUES

The primary objective of this study was to explore the existing methods and procedures for repairing Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements, and to identify and recommend the repair techniques which could be used in the State of Utah. The study objective was achieved through a detailed literature review and information obtained by sending questionnaires to state and other agencies. Various repair techniques were documented in the report so that other agencies also may make maximum use of the results. Also, the report has given consideration to repair techniques both "permanent" and "temporary." The term "permanent" denotes a service life equal to or greater than the estimated remaining service life of the pavement to which the repair is done. This report is intended to stimulate maintenance engineers to re-examine their current practices with the repair techniques presented in this report, and to use good judgement in selecting proper repair techniques to obtain improved pavement performance.
