Abstract:

The restoration of deteriorated joints on the nation's concrete pavement interstate highways is becoming an ever increasing problem. This paper deals with the joint repair techniques employed in Nebraska, and includes details of (1) joint distress, (2) full depth joint repair techniques, (3) partial depth joint repair techniques, and (4) pressure relief joints. One of the unique features of the full depth repair is the complete removal of the dowel basket assembly so that the patch is "free-floating". Nebraska's full depth repair techniques have lengthened the useful life of the interstate concrete pavement. Furthermore, the repair of spalls and blow-ups has improved the serviceability and safety of the old concrete.
