New Ideas for Conc Street Repair/Replace
New Ideas for Conc Street Repair/Replace
(OP)
I work for the engineering dept for a large county in Texas. i have just been tasked with finding new and inventive ways of repairing and/or replacing fairly old conc pavement which is beginning to crack/fail.
most of the pvmt we are looking at is for major thoroughfares, and consist of 8-10" conc.
the maintenence entities are not satisfied with the current methods of asphalt overlays or total replacements, so they are looking to us to come up with some alternatives with main consideration to maintaining a high level of traffic flow
anybody know of any good ideas/solutions to conc pvmt repair that you have either seen or done.

If you can raise the grade a few inches, you can look into rubblizing or white-topping.
So, to expand on cvg's comment, do you think the pavements have just reached their ESAL limit, or is something else going on? Incompressibles in the joints on 100 degree days? Houston gumbo underneath?
