Concrete overlays offer cost-effective, versatile, short- and long-term solutions for the full range of concrete, asphalt, and composite pavement needs. In addition, concrete overlays contribute to more sustainable construction practices by preserving pavement service for
Read More2014-9-29 concrete overlay of an asphalt pavement was previously called ultra-thin whitetopping. Concrete overlays are placed on an existing concrete, asphalt, or composite pavements. There are two types of concrete overlays: •Bonded – Relatively thin concrete placed directly on existing pavements that are in good to fair structural condition.
Read More2015-9-16 Historically, the performance of overlays has been satisfactory. However, little is known about the conditions of the old concrete under the overlays. Once a pavement is overlaid, the main concern is the appearance and performance of the new layer and minimal attention is given to the aging process of the original structure. 2
Read MoreConcrete Overlays of Concrete Pavement. Bonded concrete overlays of concrete pavements are primarily used to increase pavement structural capacity. They consist of a thin concrete layer (4 inches or less) bonded to the top of the existing concrete surface to form a monolithic or composite section.
Read MoreThin whitetopping (TWT) is a 4- to 7-in. thick concrete overlay bonded to an existing asphalt concrete pavement (ACP) to create a composite section (see Figure 8-7). TWT is constructed normally at intersections where rutting and shoving in asphalt pavement continue to cause problems.
Read MoreWhen constructing a bonded concrete overlay, a new concrete layer is applied to the surface of the existing PCC pavement. This increases the total thickness of the concrete slab, thereby reducing the wheel load stresses and extending the pavement life.

Each method addresses different types of concrete overlays and involves different inputs, software, strengths, and deficiencies. This technical summary provides an overview of the concrete overlay design process and identifies some of the more
Read More2017-8-5 construction of concrete overlays for pavement rehabilitation. This report discusses the selection, design, construction, and performance of concrete overlays. It is intended to provide the current state of the technology (as of 2004) of concrete overlays of both existing concrete pavements and existing asphalt pavements. 1.3—Definitions and ...

Read MoreGenerally, pavement overlays are used to restore surface course (both HMA and PCC) characteristics (such as smoothness, friction and aesthetics) or add structural support to an existing pavement. However, even a structural overlay

Finally, the evaluation of a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) program is evaluated and its use recommended in future overlay projects. 17. Key Words Delamination, debonding, bonding concrete overlay
Read MoreCurrently, highway authorities are faced with the challenge of rehabilitating portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements on high-volume freeways. In 1989, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) initiated a demonstration contract to rehabilitate one such freeway using various PCC pavement repair techniques in one direction and an unbounded PCC overlay in the opposing direction.

Read MoreBonding the concrete overlay to the asphalt pavement creates a composite section in which the load is shared between the concrete and existing asphalt. The closer joint spacing allows the slabs to deflect instead of bend. This reduces load stresses in the slabs to reasonable values even at

Read MoreThe initial stage construction completed in 1970 on Interstate 70 in western Kansas consisted of a 10-in. asphaltic concrete pavement. At the time of the second stage, 10 years later, the pavement exhibited signs of load and nonload associated cracking. A 3-in. second stage overlay had been planned during the initial design. Based on current conditions, traffic, and distress, a structural ...

It has been misused because most of the pavements that have been rubblized did not need rubblization. In most situations, either concrete pavement restoration (CPR) or a concrete overlay is a more appropriate and economical rehabilitation procedure.
