FHWA Research and Technology Evaluation: Precast Concrete Pavement

Publication Information

Publication Type:
Report
Publication Number:
FHWA-HRT-18-063
Abstract:

The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA’s) Research and Technology Program furthers the FHWA Office of Research, Development, and Technology’s (RD&T’s) goal of ensuring transparency, accessibility, and responsiveness of RD&T for all stakeholders.

This report examines how the benefits and costs associated with precast concrete pavement (PCP) as well as FHWA’s investment in PCP technology and deployments have affected the development and expanded use of the practice over the last 10 to 15 years.

This report should be of interest to engineers, practitioners, researchers, and decisionmakers involved with the research, design, performance, and deployment of concrete pavement technology.
