Section 2310. Portland Cement Concrete Overlay
Overlay an existing pavement with one of the following types of PCC overlay:
A. Bonded overlay: a PCC overlay over an existing PCC pavement.
B. Unbonded overlay: a PCC overlay over an existing pavement where a stress relief layer is placed on top of the existing PCC pavement or a PCC overlay over an existing composite pavement (flexible pavement over PCC).
C. Whitetopping: a PCC overlay over an existing, full depth flexible pavement.
Meet the requirements of Article 2301.02.
1. Use Class C concrete for PCC Overlays as specified in Materials I.M. 529, except use a C-3WR or C-4WR mix design for Bonded Overlays. Allowable substitutions shall comply with Article 2301.02, B.
2. For coarse aggregate, meet the requirements of Section 4109.02, Aggregate Gradation Table, Gradation No. 3 or 5. Ensure the nominal maximum coarse aggregate size is no greater than one-third the overlay thickness.
3. Unless otherwise specified, use coarse aggregate for bonded overlays that is the same type of aggregate as the existing pavement.
B. Hot Mix Asphalt Stress Relief Course.
1. Use an HMA stress relief course for unbonded overlays consisting of a nominal 1 inch course of HMA meeting the requirements of Section 2303.
2. Use PG 58-28S asphalt binder.
3. Use a mixture meeting the following:
a. 300,000 ESAL Standard
Traffic (ST), 3/8 inch HMA mix requirements.
b. Target air voids of 3.0%.
c. No maximum film thickness restriction and no minimum filler/bitumen ratio restriction.
d. Type B Aggregate (or better) with no percent crushed particle requirements and gradation falling below the restricted zone.
Meet the requirements of Article 2307.02.
Apply the requirements of Section 2301 to this work with the modifications identified below.
A. Scarifying, Shotblasting, or Waterblasting Equipment.
Use power operated equipment capable of uniformly scarifying or removing the existing surface in a satisfactory manner and to depths required. Other types of removal devices may be used if their operation is suitable and if they can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The contract documents will include a pay item for such work.
1. General.
a. If full depth base repair is included in the project, complete it prior to preparation of the existing pavement surface.
b. When required, include the entire area to be resurfaced in preparation of the existing pavement surface. Materials removed in the preparation operation may be placed in the shoulder area unless specified otherwise in the contract documents.
2. Surface Preparation.
a. When required for bonded overlays, prepare the surface by shot blasting, waterblasting, or scarifying. Scarify to a nominal depth of 1/4 inch.
b. Ensure preparation removes all dirt, oil, foreign materials, laitance, or loose material from the surface and edges against which new concrete will be placed.
3. Pavement Scarification.
a. When required, prepare surface by scarifying per Section 2214.
b. At the direction of the Engineer, trim high spots found in the existing flexible pavement. This work will be accomplished during the scarification operation, only at isolated locations, and will be considered incidental to the pavement scarification.
c. Seal Coat Bond Breaker.
Prior to placement of the PCC overlay, place two applications of a seal coat bond breaker to scarified PCC surfaces per Article 2307.03 and as modified per Article 2316.03, B, 2, b. Do not allow traffic on bond breaker before it has set.
4. Hot Mix Asphalt Stress Relief Course.
Construct in accordance with Article 2303.03. Use Class II Compaction, except use only static steel wheeled rollers. Article 2303.04 shall also apply.
C. Placing and Finishing Overlay.
1. General.
a. Apply Section 2317 to all PCC Pavement bid items of a Primary project if any individual PCC Pavement bid item for that project is 5000 square yards or greater. Apply Section 2316 to all other Primary projects and when specifically required for other projects.
b. Clean existing surface of loose or adhering foreign material prior to and during placement of PCC.
c. Ensure existing pavement surface is free of standing water during PCC placement.
d. Ensure temperature of existing pavement surface does not exceed 120ºF during PCC placement. Water may be applied to cool existing pavement surface provided standing water is not present during PCC placement.
2. Joints.
a. Unbonded Overlays and Whitetopping.
Place joints as shown in the contract documents.
b. Bonded Overlays.
1) Place joints directly over joints and cracks in the existing pavement.
2) Saw joints to the full depth of the overlay.
3) Ensure joints are at least as wide as the joint or crack in the existing pavement.
D. Limitation of Operations.
1. At forecasted air temperatures below 55°F use the maturity method to determine the opening time. Do not place resurfacing concrete when the air or pavement temperature is below 40°F.
2. The Contractor may use the shoulders for construction activities. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to repair the shoulders, as the Engineer deems necessary, to restore the shoulders to a condition acceptable for shoulder work. This work shall be done at no additional cost to the Contracting Authority. The Contractor may elect to limit the use and vehicle loadings to minimize this work and its cost.
3. Place bonded concrete overlays between June 1 and September 30.
