Precast Concrete Pavement Technology (SHRP 2 Prepublication Report*)
|
|
Greetings!
Modular pavement technologies, principally precast concrete pavement (PCP) systems, provide for rapid repair and rehabilitation of pavements and also result in durable, longer-lasting pavements. Rapid construction techniques can significantly minimize the impact on the driving public, as lane closures and traffic congestion are kept to a minimum. Road user and worker safety is also improved by reducing road users' and workers' exposure to construction traffic. SHRP 2 Project R05 (Modular Pavement Technology) developed guidance to help highway agencies implement PCP systems. The final report presents the findings from Project R05 and includes a review of the available PCP systems; a summary of applications to date; and guidelines for design, fabrication, installation, and selection of PCP systems.
* To make research available as early as possible, SHRP 2 is temporarily posting final reports that have been submitted by the research team, reviewed according to the relevant National Academy of Sciences procedures, and accepted for publication. These prepublication drafts, which have not been edited or formatted for publication, will be replaced by the final versions as they complete the editorial process.
