Abstract:

Washington, like other states, is nearing the completion of the Interstate highway construction program. The pavement design period for this system was only 20 years, and Washington, like all states, is experiencing the need to rehabilitate the pavements constructed in the early years of the Interstate program. A large and ever-increasing proportion of the Interstate system is beyond the design age of 20 years. As of 1993 more than 50% (approximately 1,680 lane-km) of all Interstate portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements in Washington State have been in service for 20 or more years. Because of budgeting constraints and user impacts the proper fix to the aging and distressed PCC pavements is not completely obvious. Total reconstruction is costly, successful and documented PCC pavement rehabilitation techniques are few, and all alternatives will result in delays to users of the facility. A general overview of the PCC pavement performance in Washington State is provided. In addition, the construction, analysis, and initial performance of a PCC pavement rehabilitation project that involves the use of retrofitted dowel bars, a tied concrete shoulder, and pavement grinding are discussed. The project was initiated to determine the effectiveness of these methods on the rehabilitation of PCC pavements in Washington. The outcome of the project will determine the viability of using these options for future rehabilitation projects in the state.
