• Abstract:
  Construction of portland cement concrete pavements is a complex process. A small fraction of the concrete pavements constructed in the ; United States over the last few decades have either failed prematurely or exhibited moderate to severe distress. In an effort to prevent ; future premature failures, 17 state transportation agencies pooled their resources, and a pooled fund research project, Material and ; Construction Optimization for Prevention of Premature Pavement Distress in PCC Pavements, was undertaken in 2003. Its purpose was ; to evaluate existing quality control tests, and then select and advance the state-of-the-practice of those tests most useful for optimizing ; concrete pavements during mix design, mix verification, and construction. This testing guide is one product of that project. The guide ; provides three recommended testing schemes (Levels A, B, and C, depending on a pavement’s design life and traffic volumes, etc.) that ; balance the costs of testing with the risk of failure for various project types. The recommended tests are all part of a comprehensive suite ; of tests described in detail in this guide.
