Precast Concrete Pavement Implementation
Precast concrete pavement (PCP) technology is gaining wider acceptance in the United States for the rapid repair and rehabilitation of heavily trafficked hot mixed asphalt (HMA) and portland cement concrete pavements. In the former cases, PCP is being used to replace HMA ramps, intersections, and bus pads that exhibit extensive rutting. In the latter cases, PCP is being used to make intermittent, full-depth repairs of concrete pavement joints and panels as well as to complete full-depth replacements of large contiguous areas of concrete pavements. PCP technology can be used in discrete (intermittent) or continuous applications. In the former cases, workers replace isolated pavement panels or pavement on each side of a joint. Load transfer between the PCP and existing pavement is normally achieved using dowels. In the latter cases, large-scale rehabilitation (resurfacing) or reconstruction is performed using multiple, contiguous precast concrete panels.
