This publication includes two pavement maintenance manuals intended for use by highway maintenance agencies and contracted maintenance firms in the field and in the office. Each is a compendium of good practices for Portland cement concrete joint resealing and partial-depth spall repair, respectively, and stem from two Strategic Highway Research Program studies. The first manual covers the need for joint resealing, the planning and design, construction, and evaluation of joint seal performance. The second manual gives a description of procedures and materials recommended for partial-depth spall repair in jointed Portland cement concrete pavements. The manual covers the details of planning and design, construction, and evaluation of performance.

The cost of pavement maintenance keeps escalating upward as refining crude oil technology increases, a shortage of raw materials rises, and mining permits are harder to obtain. As a result, both private and public property owners and homeowners' associations will be spending more on pavement maintenance than ever before. Thomas and Patrick McDonald rely on nearly sixty years of experience in pavement construction and maintenance as well as years of research as they share practical tools and tips that will help anyone manage a successful pavement maintenance project. Through the included charts that will help determine maintenance strategies, the McDonalds guide others on how to: - Identify and repair distresses in asphalt pavement - Develop the proper scope of work, specifications, bids, and contract documents - Estimate repair costs, manage the project, and monitor job site materials - Evaluate the return on investment for repairs Designed specifically to aid in any asphalt projects for commercial properties, shopping centers, industrial properties, apartment buildings, and homeowners' associations or master communities, the Guide to Pavement Maintenance provides step-by-step leadership for anyone ready to tackle a pavement maintenance project.

This publication contains two pavement maintenance manuals intended for use by highway maintenance agenices and contracted maintenance firms in the field and in the office. Each is a compendium of good practices for asphalt concrete crack sealing and filling and pothole repair, respectively, stemming from two Strategic Highway Research Program studies.

This document serves as the Reference Manual for the 1 1/2 -day FHWA workshop on concrete pavement preservation. The purpose of the document is to provide the most up-to-date information available on the design, construction, and selection of cost-effective concrete pavement preservation strategies. It concentrates primarily on strategies and methods that are applicable at the project level, and not at the network level, where pavement management activities function and address such issues as prioritizing and budgeting. Detailed information is presented on seven specific concrete pavement preservation treatments: slab stabilization, partial-depth repairs, full-depth repairs, retrofitted edge drains, load transfer restoration, diamond grinding, and joint resealing. In addition, information is provided on pavement evaluation techniques and strategy selection procedures.
