PAVEMENT REHABILITATION IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT: MINNESOTA REPAIR STANDARDS REHABILITATE TWIN CITIES FREEWAYS. PROCEEDINGS, 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONCRETE PAVEMENT DESIGN AND REHABILITATION, PURDUE UNIVERSITY, APRIL 18-20, 1989

Over the last eight years, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN/DOT) has contracted in excess of 100 miles per year of concrete pavement rehabilitation projects in addition to repairs done by in-house maintenance forces. These projects used various repair strategies, including full depth repairs, partial depth repairs, surface texture planing, joint sealing and installation of sub-surface drainage. Prior to the construction season of 1982, standard repair detail designs and construction practices varied from district to district, causing problems in bidding and construction. During the winter of 1981-82, construction and design problems were discussed and remedies were recommended. During the winter of 1982-83, repair techniques and problems were discussed, repair types were categorized, and construction procedures, bid items and plans were standardized. This paper presents the priorities established by the MN/DOT for concrete pavement repair, the three MN/DOT repair types, and projects which utilized concrete pavement repair techniques on major metro freeways.
