National Concrete Pavement Technology Center

Project description

The research team will perform a comprehensive evaluation of adhesive anchors used in concrete pavement applications, particularly full-depth repairs. The research team will investigate the effects of sustained and cyclic loading on long term stiffness of the bond between the concrete, the adhesive grout, and the steel anchor. The potential benefits will lie in the suitability of adhesive anchors to perform in concrete pavement applications in addition to the development of recommendations for the use of adhesive anchors to minimize premature failures and to extend pavement service life by maintaining the stiffness of a repair made using drilled adhesive anchors.
