Evaluation of a Thin-Bonded Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Overlay
This report discusses the performance of the Virginia Department of Transportation's first modern rehabilitation project involving a thin-bonded portland cement concrete overlay of an existing jointed concrete pavement. The performance of the rigid overlay, which was constructed in a fast-track mode to minimize land closure time, was evaluated by detailed condition surveys conducted annually throughout a 6-year analysis period to identify, document, and monitor the occurrence of distress. The roughness of the overlay was also measured annually with an accelerometer-based inertial road profiler to permit an examination of the effects of surface deterioration on ride quality. The consideration of thin-bonded concrete overlays constructed in a fast-track mode is recommended as a viable rehabilitation alternative for jointed concrete pavements that are not severely distressed. However, careful attention to joint installation and, in particular, joint maintenance is recommended for similar future rehabilitation projects.
