Abstract:The investigation involved an examination of current technology on concrete consolidation, current continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) consolidation practices in Texas and selected current concrete pavement problems through field examination and laboratory investigation. Principal conclusions reached were: (1) while the vast majority of concrete pavements are in excellent condition, inadequate concrete consolidation has been found in many areas of Texas, the most prevalent locations occurring adjacent to transverse construction joints in CRCP, (2) with proper construction control, rigorously enforced, these isolated consolidation problems can be minimized, (3) by introducing selected changes in current practices, consolidation problems can be minimized. Based on these conclusions, recommendations were made which involved the introduction of more effective construction controls and the introduction of selected changes in current practices.
