Rapid Replacement of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Segments

The objectives of this study were to identify, describe, and evaluate methods that have been, and are being, used for rapid replacement of full lane-width segments of both continuously reinforced and jointed portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements relative to costs, placement conditions, traffic characteristics, performance, and expected service lives. The research has accomplished these objectives and the results have been documented in the agency final report. Useful results were achieved and are reported in this Digest to provide adequate circulation of the outcome of the research.
