Abstract:

Breaking and seating has been utilized extensively in Kentucky for rehabilitation of portland cement concrete pavements for the past 10 years. To date, 1345 lane-km (836 lane-mi) of Interstate pavements and 470 lane-km (292 lane-mi) of parkway pavements have been rehabilitated. Overlay thicknesses have ranged from 114 to 240 mm (4.5 to 9.5 in.). The sections that have been overlaid generally have performed well. Localized areas of distress generally have been observed in the wheel tracks of the driving lane. Research is currently being conducted to relate this type of distress to areas of poor drainage. Kentucky is currently conducting a survey of all broken and seated concrete pavements on Interstate highways and parkways throughout the state. This survey includes a detailed visual survey and falling weight deflectometer testing to determine the in situ condition of the pavement structure. These data, combined with rideability index and condition points, will be used to analyze performance of this type of rehabilitation. Information gained from this study may be used to modify the current design and construction procedures if necessary. On the basis of the experience gained, Kentucky will continue to use breaking and seating of concrete pavements as a rehabilitation alternative.
