Project description

Information related to maintenance and preservation (M&P) treatments of Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) has not been uniformly presented across various Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) maintenance-related documents, including INDOT Standard Specifications and the INDOT Design Manual. Since this data is scattered across different documents and frequently incomplete, it is often challenging for field personnel to obtain consistent information which can assist in making decisions related to selection of treatments that can benefit the service life of concrete pavements. To address this gap, the SPR-4601 guidebook was developed to provide succinct descriptions of common distresses and failures observed in concrete pavements, and guidance related to routine maintenance and preservation (M&P) practices. Having consistent and comprehensive information should aid in implementing more uniform M&P practices and help to ensure the quality of the concrete pavement assets over their service life.
