Centerline Joint Repair Using Preformed Joint Inserts
The experimental project examines the use of two types of preformed joint inserts as a method of creating a longitudinal joint in a centerline joint repair. In September 1987, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation installed approximately equal lengths of SEALINSERT II preformed joint insert material, KOLD-SEAL preformed joint insert material, and a standard sawed and sealed control section. Construction problems were encountered when installing each type of preformed joint insert material. Both preformed joint inserts rose in the plastic concrete and remained higher in the repair than was originally designed. At places, the SEALINSERT II material remained above the finished repair surface, exposing it to damage by traffic. Conceptually, the KOLD-SEAL design seems somewhat inappropriate to provide sealed pavement joints. Without a rubber sealant, it is questionable whether the KOLD-SEAL joint will provide a sealed pavement joint over an extended period of time. A detailed account of the construction methods and a cost comparison of the three joint formation and sealing methods is included in the report.
