Ultra-thin Portland Cement Concrete Overlays have been used in other states on full depth bituminous pavements. Areas of particular interest in using this technology are those subject to rutting and shoving, such as ramps and intersections. In October of 1995, this technology was implemented on a reinforced concrete ramp that was overlaid with biotuminous concrete. This report evaluates the performance of the ultra-thin portland cement concrete overlay (Whitetopping) thus far. Also, an attempt is made to evaluate the cost effectiveness of this practice as an alternative for the maintenance of high volume traffic areas which are subject to excessive rutting and shoving.
