| Abstract | Jointed precast concrete pavement (JPrCP) technology has gained wide acceptance in the United States (US) for rapid repair and rehabilitation of concrete pavements, and for reconstruction of heavily trafficked asphalt intersections and ramps. This widespread use in the US is fairly recent, with most projects in service fewer than 10 years. JPrCP technology is used most frequently where maintenance of traffic limits work zones to overnight durations and where long-life pavement performance is needed. The service life of intermittent JPrCP repairs is expected to be at least 20 years. Longer-length applications of JPrCP are expected to serve for 40 years or more without a need for corrective treatment except griding to restore desired surface characteristics. Panel fabrication, storage, delivery and installation are unique steps leading to a satisfactory JPrCP experience. This guide specification for JPrCP has been developed based on knowledge of the best practices from thirty-one highway agencies throughout the US that have constructed at least one JPrCP project up to ten or more such projects. It may be used by these and other highway agencies to create state-of-the-art guidance, with modifications needed to incorporate individual highway agency format and standards. This guide specification presents considerations for the use of JPrCP based on the best practices observed from experiences of numerous highway agencies. This document provides best practices for the use of JPrCP. It does not create any Federal requirements other than those stipulated in statute or regulation. |
