The "Why and When" of concrete pavement restoration (CPR) is included in this technical publication. Rational procedures to repair, improve and extend pavement life are discussed. Trigger and limit tables provide guidance for determining when to apply any strategy. The contents cover all techniques including, patching; joint resealing, retrofitting shoulders, retrofittng dowel bars, cross-stitching, slab stabilization, and diamond grinding or grooving.

This special report provides the basics of stitching cracks or joints in concrete pavement. Two methods, slot-stitching and cross-stitching are described along with special considerations to improve the quality of these repairs. A table recommends appropriate repairs for defects in newly constructed concrete pavement.

This information sheet is an abridgement of a comprehensive study, “The Longevity and Performance of Diamond-Ground Pavements” (RD118). Includes a review of existing information on diamond grinding. Extensive field surveys -- 60 pavement sections in 18 states -- were used obtain performance data. The analysis shows no evidence of surface degradation resulting from diamond grinding.

This technical document provides guideline specification language useful for developing project specifications for dowel bar retrofit (DBR). Included are sections on application of the technique, materials, pre-construction requirements, and construction requirements. The guidelines are easily modified for use by any agency applying the technique to a concrete pavement. Footnotes, diagrams, and illustrations give added details and list important references for a specification writer.

This information sheet describes our recommended practices for the restoration of utility trenches cut into concrete pavements. It includes details on planning the utility cut location, size and shape; making the necessary cut(s) in the concrete slab; removing the concrete; excavating the subbase and/or subgrade; repairing/upgrading or installing the utility; backfilling and compacting or placing flowable backfill; installing necessary embedded steel (dowel bars and tiebars); placing, finishing, texturing and curing the new concrete surface course; jointing and joint sealing; and opening to traffic.
