Concrete Pavement Overlays and Failure Mechanisms

This is the second technical report that describes a series of tasks performed under Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 0-4893. The main objectives of this document are to: (1) present the findings of the assessment of various asphalt concrete overlay (ACO) projects built in the Bryan, Fort Worth, and Dallas districts; (2) show the results of the instrumentation of a bonded concrete overlay (BCO) section located in Houston, Texas, where debonding of the overlay was measured and discussed; and (3) evaluate a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) program and make recommendations for its use in future overlay projects.
