FOREWARD

This report is one volume of a seven-volume set presenting the results of a study to provide the state-of-the-art for the design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP). Through a through literature review of current and past research work in CRCP and extensive field and laboratory testing of 23 in-service CRC pavements, the effectiveness of various design and construction features were assessed; performance of CRCP was evaluated; and procedures for improving CRC pavement technology were recommended. The 23 test pavements were located in six states that participated in this national pooled fund study. In addition the data available for 83 CRCPs included in the General Pavement Study (GPS) number 5 of the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program was presented and analyzed. A number of CRCP maintenance and rehabilitation techniques that have been used over the years, including joint and crack sealing, cathodic protection of reinforcing bars, full-depth patching, resurfacing, etc. were also evaluated. This report will be of interest to engineers and researchers concerned with the state-of-the-art design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of CRCP including predictive models. The study was made possible with the financial support of Arizona,- Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylv a, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin.

Sufficient copies of this report are being distributed to provide two copies to each FHWA regional office and three copies to each FHWA division office and each state highway agency. Direct distribution is being made to the division Offices.
