• Abstract:
  Hydraulic cement concrete pavement overlays were placed in the summer of 1995 at the following locations in Virginia: ; • 1-295 near Richmond ; • 1-85 near Petersburg ; • Rt. 29 near Charlottesville. ; Overlays were placed on 1-295 SBL (near mile marker 29) and 1-85 SBL (near mile marker 51) in Virginia to prevent spalling caused ; by a shy cover over the reinforcement and to enhance the structural integrity. Both locations are continuously reinforced concrete ; pavement. An overlay was also placed on Rt. 29 NBL (1.6 km south of Charlottesville) in Virginia to correct a rutted asphalt ; pavement. ; The construction was funded with 20 percent Virginia Department of Transportation maintenance funds and 80 percent special ; ISTEA Section 6005 federal funds specifically allocated to demonstrate overlay technologies. ISTEA funds were also used to ; evaluate the installation and initial conditions of the overlays and to prepare the report. The variables in this study were concrete mix ; design, overlay thickness, and base material. Mineral admixtures and steel and plastic fibers were used to improve the mechanical ; properties and durability of the overlay concrete. Overlay thickness and base material were varied to determine their effect on ; overlay performance.
