• Abstract:
  In 1984, ODOT began using the break and seat technique as one of the rehabilitation methods for jointed ; reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP). Approximately 200 centerline miles of pavement have been ; rehabilitated using the break and seat technique. During a review of Ohio’s pavement rehabilitation ; program by the Ohio Division of the FHWA in 1992, it was noted that performance studies of break and ; seat projects were not conclusive. As a result, the report recommended ODOT restrict the use of the ; break and seat method to non reinforced concrete pavement. ODOT imposed a moratorium on the use ; of the break & seat technique and initiated a research project in association with the University of ; Cincinnati to validate the FHWA findings. The goal of the project was to systematically evaluate the ; effectiveness of breaking and seating JRCP. Two test projects, each containing control sections, were ; constructed and monitored for a 2 ½ year period. The conclusion of this study was the break and seat ; technique did alter the structural characteristics of the test pavements and also was effective in delaying ; and minimizing reflective cracking. However, these conclusions were based on short term performance ; of the test sections. Research was needed to investigate the long term performance (10 years) of the ; break and seat rehabilitation technique.
