Construction and Preliminary Monitoring of the Georgetown, Texas Precast Prestressed Concrete Pavement
After completion of a feasibility study which examined the viability of using precast concrete panels to expedite pavement construction, FHWA and TxDOT funded an implementation project to construct a precast concrete pavement pilot project to test the concepts developed through the feasibility study. This report will discuss the development and construction of this pilot project, which was constructed on a section of frontage road along IH-35 near Georgetown, Texas. The project incorporated the use of prestressed concrete panels to not only reduce the thickness of the pavement, but to enhance durability of the finished pavement. This report will describe in detail all aspects of the Georgetown precast pavement project including design, panel fabrication, construction, and post-construction monitoring. Recommendations for construction of future precast concrete pavements are also included. This first precast pavement pilot project helped to develop viable design and construction techniques for use on future precast pavement projects in urban areas where expedited construction is needed the most.
