Feasibility of Precast Prestressed Concrete Panels for Expediting PCC Pavement Construction
The ever-increasing number of vehicles on America's roadways is causing pavements to deteriorate faster, requiring major rehabilitation or replacement. Rehabilitation or construction of new pavements, however, can cause significant traffic congestion, leading to a substantial increase in user costs. Under this premise, and owing to the success of precast concrete technology in the bridge and commercial building industries, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) commissioned research to investigate the feasibility of using precast concrete panels for pavement construction. Pavement construction that makes use of precast concrete panels can take place during off-peak travel times, such as at night and over weekends. Such scheduling will significantly reduce traffic congestion resulting from construction activities, which in turn will greatly reduce user delay costs while also ensuring a durable, high-performance pavement.
