• Abstract:
  Bonded concrete overlays are increasingly being used to rehabilitate concrete pavements. Among other benefits, bonded concrete overlays (BCO) can reduce life-cycle costs and can expedite construction (thus lowering user costs and delays). Until recently, the design of bonded concrete overlays has been a tedious process. Several design methods are available, including the 1993 Guide for Design of Pavement Structures and the Rigid Pavement Rehabilitation Design System (RPRDS). These design procedures have been automated into a user-friendly software package entitled Bonded Concrete Overlay Computer-Aided Design (BCOCAD). This report documents the development and implementation of the BCOCAD program.
