SHRP EXPERIMENTS FOCUS ON TOMORROW'S PCC ROADS

Two components of the Strategic Highway Research Program will study the performance of portland cement concrete pavements and techniques for rehabilitation: the concrete structures research program and the long-term pavement performance project. The first group of studies will study reactive aggregates (faster tests and screening tests); develop an air void measuring device; and develop concrete pavement strength prediction techniques. The long term pavement performance project consists of two types of studies: general pavement studies (5 pavement types will be studied for design, construction and overlay techniques); and specific pavement studies (will test performance of concrete pavements of different types). Environmental effects and the performance of rehabilitation techiniques under different climatic conditions will also be studied.
