... 14 This R21 project, "Composite Pavement Systems," fits under the Renewal area, the goal of which is to develop a consistent, systematic approach for performing highway renewal that is rapid, causes minimal disruption, and produces long-lived facilities. The Renewal scope applies to all classes of roads.

... 17 • Gathering information on individual agencies' experiences with composite pavements and identifying the appropriate contacts for development of guidelines and construction specifications. A list of key agencies to be contacted was developed.

... 18 were 30 years old or more (some of which already were overlaid with HMA) along the A1 motorway into new PCC/PCC composite pavements.
From page 19...
... 19 Joint Faulting Although joint faulting is a concern for single-layer JPCPs, it is not more of a concern in PCC/PCC composite pavements than in JPCPs. As in the case of the heterogeneous-layered slab response to transverse cracking, the presence of heterogeneous layers in a slab does not exacerbate faulting relative to that of a structurally equivalent JPCP.
