Prestressed Concrete Pavement Construction
The objective of Demonstration Project No. 17 was to determine if the technique of prestressed concrete paving in highway construction is practical and economically competitive with conventional highway construction methods. The Federal Highway Administration, through the joint efforts of the Office of Research and Region 15, contracted and supervised the construction of approximately 3200 feet of 24-foot-wide, 6-inch-thick prestressed concrete pavement at Dulles International Airport. A construction cost analysis, and on-site observations, measurements, and tests during all phases of construction, and for a post-construction period of highway use, were made.
