• Abstract:
  This report presents the research and recommendations regarding the rehabilitation of an urban section of IH-30 in west Fort Worth, Texas. Bonded concrete overlays have proven to be a viable solution for rehabilitation of heavily traveled pavement sections. The main objective of this project is to evaluate the technical and economical feasibility of an expedited bonded concrete overlay and to monitor its performance. In addition to the materials characterization of the existing pavement and the rehabilitation design, the report presents a strategy to expedite the BCO in conjunction with the widening of the road. The expedited construction will allow the opening of the rehabilitated pavement to traffic as early as possible and, therefore, can minimize user-associated costs. The economic analysis included in the report shows the feasibility of implementing a BCO in lieu of a full-depth reconstruction.
