Evaluation of Patching of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement in Illinois
An evaluation of the patching of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) in Illinois has been conducted. The placing of concrete patches to repair localized distressed areas is an expensive and difficult maintenance operation. Patching demand is increasing every year due to the aging of the CRCP network. Many aspects of patch design, construction, costs of materials, equipment and labor, and the associated performance as currently exists were evaluated. The productivity and costs of the three agencies that construct patches are described (i.e., district maintenance, Day labor, and private contractors). Performance data indicates that one out of four patches develop serious distress and require replacement, and one out of five patches require an add-on patch due to distress in the adjacent slab. Specific patching problems are identified and discussed in detail so that improved procedures can be developed during the next phase of this research project that reduce costs and improve the patch performance.
