Abstract:
The 42 different tests sections of the Greene County Overlay Project will provide information on the following aspects of conrete pavement overlays: slab thickness, cement content, steel fiber content, joint spacing, bonding characteristics, initial square yard costs, maintenance costs, service life of different tests sections, and comparision of fibrous concrete, continuously reinforced concrete paving with elastic joints, mesh, and plain concrete overlays.
