Title: Construction of Sustainable Pavements: Two-Layer Concrete Pavements at Mn/ROAD Facility
Abstract: Recent efforts under the Strategic Highways Research Program (SHRP2) project R21, “Composite Pavements,” lead to the design and construction of composite portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement sections at the Minnesota Road Research Facility. This construction is part of a larger effort to further understand techniques that lead to an infrastructure that is both rapidly renewed and sustainable. This paper will discuss successes and challenges of composite, or two-layer, PCC pavements, based on first-hand experience at MnROAD and on the SHRP2 R21 scanning tour of European composite pavements. This article represents a follow-up to an earlier article in Transportation Research Record No. 2098 on the R21 scanning tour of European composite pavements and observations of European construction practices for composite paving.
