Summary of Experimental Concrete Pavements in New York
The report summarizes a 22-year study of concrete pavement design features. It included construction of a test road with numerous variables, two roads with several major design changes, and several roads among the first to incorporate a major change in load-transfer devices across transverse joints. The work involved the first major contract in New York to use a slip-form paver, the first short-slab unreinforced pavements, the first concrete shoulders, and skewed transverse joints. Since a great deal of monitoring was needed, many types of measurements are reviewed, along with their practicality and importance in assessing pavement performance. In addition, several pieces of equipment were developed or refined and others were evaluated. The large monitoring program will provide standards for measurement and interpretation on future work. Many findings have been implemented and have improved performance and/or cost-effectiveness of concrete pavements in New York.
