... 103 Conclusions The SHRP 2 R21 project on composite pavement systems conducted extensive in-depth research on two types of composite pavements: 1. High-quality, relatively thin, hot-mix asphalt (HMA)
From page 104...
... 104 composite pavements. The guidelines, techniques, and specifications developed in SHRP 2 R21 will greatly advance the state-of-the-practice of constructing composite pavements.
From page 105...
... 105 routine pavement type selection procedures of state and local highway agencies. The performance examples, design tools, pavement selection type guidelines, construction guidelines and specifications, and training materials will all provide significant value-added technology to these engineers and managers regarding composite pavements.
From page 106...
... 106 4 Increased use of lower-cost local aggregates in the lower PCC layer because the lower PCC is no longer the wearing course that will polish. The higher quality PCC surface provides some protection from freeze–thaw damage and wet–dry cycling.
From page 107...
... 107 Database of PCC/PCC Composite Pavements Data collected for 15 PCC/PCC composite sections are available in Excel spreadsheet and MEPDG input files.
