Abstract:
Precast concrete pavement (PCP) technology is gaining wider acceptance in the United States for the rapid repair and rehabilitation of heavily trafficked asphalt and concrete pavements. Rehabilitation work using PCP is typically performed overnight over a single lane. Two applications of PCP technology are described: installation of concrete bus pads at the East Main Street Station in New Britain, CT, and rehabilitation of the SH 97 and SH 72 intersection in Fowlerton, TX.
