Precast Concrete Pavement Technology (SHRP 2 Report S2-R05-RR-1)

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. Precast Concrete Pavement Technology (SHRP 2 Report S2-R05-RR-1) 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.
