• Abstract:
  The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) H-106 maintenance experiment and the Federal Highway Administration ; (FHWA) Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) of Pavement Maintenance Materials Test Sites project studied the repair of partialdepth ; spalls in concrete pavements. The purpose of partial-depth spall repair is to restore a pavement's structural integrity, ; improve its ride quality, and extend its serviceable life. ; Highway agencies spend a large amount of time and money annually performing partial-depth spall repairs, both as temporary ; and permanent fixes. Frequently, the repairs are not made as efficiently as desired or do not perform as long as intended. The ; primary consequences are added disruption to traffic, more exposure of patching crews to traffic, and additional maintenance ; expenditures. The purpose of this study, then, was to address the merits and deficiencies of current spall repair materials, ; designs, and practices. The study evaluated the relative performance of selected patching materials, as well as the effect of ; selected repair methods. The study also examined repair material properties and tests that correlate well with field performance. ; This report documents the entire portland cement concrete (PCC) partial-depth spall repair study, including the installation of 30 ; unique repair types (i.e., combinations of patching material and patching method) at 4 different test sites, the laboratory testing ; of experimental repair materials, and the 7-year performance monitoring of the various partial-depth repairs. It also discusses ; the results of comprehensive statistical analyses conducted on material performance and laboratory testing data. The results of a ; detailed cost-effectiveness analysis are also presented.
