We have had several requests from the field for information regarding the<br />
performance of various <strong>pavement</strong>s. We have elected to use a case study approach<br />
as one method of meeting this desire. The case studies will be based on the<br />
Headquarter's Pavement Rehabilitation and Design Team field trip reports.<br />
Attached is a copy of our initial effort. It describes a distress problem on a<br />
continuously reinforced concrete <strong>pavement</strong> located in the eastern part of the<br />
country. The report provides an insight to the types of details that are<br />
commonly examined. The process that was followed can be applied to any<br />
<strong>pavement</strong> rehabilitation project.<br />
As you know, the Team at the request of State highway agencies and our field<br />
offices has conducted numerous reviews of <strong>pavement</strong> distress problems.<br />
Typically, the Team has been asked to provide assistance when a <strong>pavement</strong> has<br />
experienced premature distress. The Team's role is to determine the cause of<br />
the early distress , recommend alternative strategies for<br />
rehabilitation/reconstruction and provide suggestions on how to prevent the<br />
distress cn this or s,imilar <strong>pavement</strong>.<br />
The Team has been headed by the Pavement Division and has included members from<br />
other Headquarter's offices.depending on the technical expertise needed to<br />
examine a particular problem. From our viewpoint, there have been tremendous<br />
benefits gained by the States and FHWA using this review team concept. The<br />
Team has always been willing to provide technical assistance when requested and<br />
we reaffirm our commitment to continuing these efforts.<br />
We expect to furnish additional case studies that will he based on upcoming<br />
Team field trip reports. If you have any comments on this case study approach<br />
or the specifics of the attached report, please do not hesitate to contact us.<br />
Sufficient copies of the report are being provided to your office to permit<br />
direct distribution to yaqr division offices.<br />
