Abstract:
Concrete overlays of existing pavements can be important tool for street owners to extend the life of their local network. Concrete overlays allow cities and counties to save the labor and cost of removing an existing pavement. Concrete is also competitive on a first-cost as well as a lifecycle basis. One of the most significant advantages to concrete overlays is that an owner can keep the equity that they have achieved in the existing pavement and do not lose the long-term investment that has already been made. This session will discuss the various concrete overlay options, what owners may expect in terms of extended life, construction methods that can accelerate project completion, and traffic maintenance options.
