Evaluation of Concrete Pavements in the Phoenix Urban Corridor. Volume 2. Appendices
Arizona has been building portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements since the 1950's and now has approximately 400 lane miles of PCC pavements. Overall, these pavements have performed exceptionally well and have carried large traffic volumes. However, these pavements have experienced a range of distresses, including faulting, cracking, spalling, and, consequently, roughness. Since ADOT is considering the construction of approximately 230 lane miles of PCC in the next 20 years, a comprehensive evaluation of the 36 concrete pavements in the Phoenix Urban Corridor was conducted to identify the performance trends of the different designs and to aid in the recommendation of appropriate rehabilitation strategies. The field testing and evaluation consisted of condition surveys, drainage survey, nondestructive deflection testing, coring and subsurface boring investigations, a roughness survey, and Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) studies on selected sites. The volume provides project documentation to the main report. The appendices of the volume summarize the performance data for the sections; provide strip maps taken from the distress surveys; describe the creation and use of the project data base; summarize the results from the WIM studies, furnish rehabilitation selection guidelines; and provide an overview of rehabilitation methods.
