CONCRETE OVERLAYS IN THE USA
 National perspective
 ACPA overlay project explorer:
IOWA’S HISTORY OF CONCRETE OVERLAY PERFORMANCE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
 Full Report: Performance of Concrete Overlays in
Iowa
 Phase I of Iowa Highway Research Board TR-689
 Project Team:
 CP Tech Center: Jerod Gross, Dale Harrington, Dr.
Peter Taylor
 Iowa State University: Yu-An Chen, Dr. Halil
Ceylan, Inya Nnelanya, Dr. Omar Smadi
CONCRETE OVERLAYS IN IOWA
 Iowa: over 2,000 centerline miles of concrete
overlays have been constructed since the late ‘70s
 Over half constructed since 2005
 Mostly on county highway system
PROJECT BACKGROUND
 How well have Iowa’s overlays
performed? (How long do they last?)
 Approximately 470/506 overlay
projects are still in service today
 Includes 68/96 constructed before
1990
 Compare to older sources that
indicate expected service life for a
concrete overlay is only about 20
years Dallas County, IA, Constructed 1977
PROJECT BACKGROUND
 However, as of 2015, there had been no attempt to
characterize performance of overlays to determine
expected service life & what made projects successful
Dallas County, IA, Constructed 1992
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
 Define performance of Iowa’s concrete overlays
 Create performance curves
 Analyze specific design choices and characteristics and
link to performance
 Overlay type (thin bonded, unbonded)
 Thickness
 Joint spacing
 Traffic
 Incorporate lessons learned to improve overlay design and
performance
DATA COMPILATION & COLLECTION
 Automated pavement condition
data: Iowa Pavement Management
Program (IPMP)
 Opt-in program for local agencies
 Data collection began in early
2000s (opt-in)
 Since 2013, all streets & roads
are covered every other year
 This data then combined with
ICPA overlay project records to
produce the complete data set
OVERLAY TYPES
 Bonded Concrete Overlay of Concrete (BCOC)
 Bonded Concrete Overlay of Asphalt (BCOA)
 Defined as thickness ≤ 6 inches
 Unbonded Concrete Overlay of Concrete (UBCOC)
 Unbonded Concrete Overlay of Asphalt (UBCOA)
 Defined as thickness > 6 inches
DATA DISTRIBUTION
 Typical designs in Iowa
 Early on: 6 inches on asphalt
(“whitetopping”) or 6+ inches
unbonded on concrete
 Performance data for
projects up to 40 years old
Washington County, IA, Constructed 1977
DATA DISTRIBUTION
 Typical designs in Iowa
 ‘00s: more types of
projects, including
thinner overlays
 Advent of new design
procedures, shorter slabs,
fiber-reinforcement
 About 10 years worth of
data, with some
exceptions
Boone, IA, Constructed 2005
DATA DISTRIBUTION
 Full data set contains all overlay types/designs:

DATA DISTRIBUTION
 Distribution based on slab thickness:

PERFORMANCE METRICS
 Performance characterized by PCI (Pavement Condition Index) & IRI
 IPMP PCI equation incorporates:
 IRI (accounts for 40% of PCI)
 Transverse Cracking
 Joint Spalling
 D-cracking
(no faulting)
Le Mars, IA, Constructed 2010
PERFORMANCE METRICS
 Performance charts:
 PCI scale:
 Excellent: 81-100
 Good: 61-80
 Fair: 41-60
 Poor: 21-40
 Very Poor: 0-20

RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
 Key findings and trends:
 Overall performance of Iowa’s concrete overlays has been
excellent
 As a whole: about 35 years to PCI = 60
 About 40 years to IRI = 170 in/mi
 Good performance from each of BCOA, UBCOA & UBCOC
 Overlays of asphalt slightly better than UBCOC
 BCOC less successful overall, but performed well in context of
design life expectations
RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
 Key findings and trends:
 Thickness
 In general: thicker overlays have performed better for all overlay
types (e.g. for BCOA, 6” > 5” > 4”)
 Transverse joint spacing
 Good early performance from short slab designs (6”) on BCOA/thin
overlays
 Older designs with 15-20 foot slabs performed well long-term
 12 foot slabs—inconclusive
 Traffic—inconclusive
 Most of these projects are low-volume, <1,000 vpd
 Not enough truck traffic data available from local agencies
RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
 12 foot transverse joint spacing
 Across multiple splits, apparent decline in performance of
overlays with 12 foot joint spacing (even compared to
longer spacings)
 UBCOA (organized by joint spacing):
Figures: Chen and Ceylan
FIELD REVIEWS
 Field reviews were performed to:
 supplement data analysis
 verify findings
 investigate trends, outliers
Pottawattamie County, IA, Constructed 1993
FIELD REVIEWS
 Observed distresses:
 Materials-related
Pottawattamie County, IA, Constructed 1999
FIELD REVIEWS
 Observed distresses:
 Rough ride—construction or curling/warping
 Occasional faulting
Buchanan County, IA, Constructed 1996
FIELD REVIEWS
 Observed distresses:
 Load-related, possibly mis-designed
or under-designed
Dallas County, IA, Constructed 2006
FIELD REVIEWS
 Key takeaways:
 Observed performance generally matches data
 Poor performing outliers & early failure causes:
 Materials-related
 Load-related/under-design
 Rough ride
 In short... mostly the same issues that we run into with
conventional PCC pavements
 Be aware of increased potential for curling/warping
 Beyond above explanations, no direct observations to indicate that
there’s a specific problem with 12 ft joint spacing design
CONCLUSIONS
 Overall performance of Iowa’s concrete overlays has
been excellent
 Upwards of 30-40+ year performance life
 Overlays are very well-suited to county highways
 Good success to date on interstate, state highways, and
city streets as well
NEXT STEPS
 Move from performance history → survivability, performance
models
 Continue compiling data, keeping the database updated

Editor's Notes

  1. But it wasn’t always concrete – in the 20s – we had to “get out of the mud”!
  2. Our first concrete street was built in LeMars in 1904
  3. Allow me to offer some brief insight to Iowa’s paving market as we prepare to look at proven cost effective pavement resurfacing solutions.
  4. And our focus on what need’s to be done has changed, too. No longer building new roads, but taking care of what is out there.
  5. Overlays on concrete, on asphalt, on composites, designed as bonded or unbonded, we’ve proven that we can effectively address all of these needs
  6. The proof of the overlay success in Iowa.
  7. See how the overlay is becoming more important to our future?
  8. There is ongoing work to update and finish this document (explained later in this presentation), but it will be released early in 2012.
  9. From ACPA’s overlay explorer. IA = about 1/3 of all overlay projects nationwide
  10. Note two projects—same county, one failed in ~25 years, another going on 40 yrs old with no plan to replace
  11. Briefly cover different overlay types. Note difference in thickness and joint spacing between different overlay types.
  12. We have some older 3-5” PCC overlays, but newer short slab designs only really started appearing in ‘00s
  13. Almost half of all projects are 6” overlays; thinner (4-5”) now account for close to 1/3 of total overlay mileage
  14. Faulting is indirectly measured via IRI
  15. PCI = 60 is where condition changes from ‘good’ to ‘fair.’ ‘Poor’ condition doesn’t actually begin until PCI = 40Performance plot of PCI vs. age for all concrete overlays. (Includes all types of overlays, all thickness, joint spacing, etc.) Key point of emphasis here is that the majority of concrete overlays are on track to fulfill a very good long-term service life. The trendline reaches a PCI of 60 at 35 years. Variability in the data means that you can’t directly infer a 35 year performance life for all concrete overlays, but projects are clearly performing well—certainly the vast majority are lasting longer than 20 years. (May also note here that PCI = 60 is where condition changes from ‘good’ to ‘fair.’ ‘Poor’ condition doesn’t actually begin until PCI = 40.)
  16. PCI for BCOA projects only. This slide is here primarily to give a “sneak peek” at how many different plots/charts are available in the full report, breaking down the data into smaller groups and offering comparisons. One thing you can note here is that thicker BCOA projects (5-6 in.) have shown better long-term performance than thinner BCOA projects (4 in.). Although the more modern thin overlay designs only have data for about 10 years or so.
  17. This slide makes performance of newer, short slab designs more clear. Also you can see kind of an outlier with 12 ft joint spacing performance. Similar to prior slide, but now BCOA performance is sorted by joint spacing as opposed to thickness.
  18. Another sneak peek slide, this time for thick “unbonded” overlays of asphalt. Shows very good long term performance of 7 and 8 inch overlays.
  19. Somewhat worse observed performance than our bonded and unbonded overlays of asphalt—except for very thick design (interstate)
  20. Performance plot of IRI vs. age for all overlays. (Includes all types of overlays, all thickness, joint spacing, etc.) The reason a line is drawn at IRI = 170 in/mi is because that is FHWA’s standard for when ride quality becomes “not acceptable.” Like previous slide, data demonstrates great long-term performance of overlays in terms of ride quality. Trendline intersection appears to be at approx. 40 years, although same caveat applies.
  21. So among thin overlays, the relatively thicker ones have had the longest performance life
  22. Greater susceptibility for curling and warping on overlays—more surface area relative to volume of slab.
  23. Maybe not just under-designed but also poor choice of slab size. Smaller slabs would have mitigated stresses.
