Thin Concrete Pavement Overlays
Credits: 1 PDH
PDH Course Description:
This course is based on a tech brief from the FHWA, that provides information on the design and construction of thin concrete overlays. This course briefly discusses the benefits of using thin concrete overlays, such as improved ride quality, reduced maintenance costs, and increased service life of the pavement. It also covers the design considerations for thin concrete overlays, including the selection of mix type, thickness, and joint spacing.Also provided is guidance on surface preparation, placement, and curing processes, and emphasizes the importance of proper joint saw cutting and matching. Additionally, the publication includes case studies of successful thin concrete overlay projects, which demonstrate the effectiveness of this pavement rehabilitation technique. Overall, this technical brief serves as a valuable introductory resource for engineers and transportation professionals involved in the design and construction of roadway systems.
