In addition, several demonstration projects were conducted under SP-205 to evaluate innovative pavement rehabili- www.fhwa.dot.gov/pavement/concrete tation technologies, including the placement of a bonded concrete overlay preceded by load transfer restoration (LTR), the investigation of alternative LTR configurations and designs, and the use of millabrading to remove studded tire damage from concrete pavement surfaces. The results of these studies are documented in several State highway agency reports (Hubbard and Williams 1999; Hunt 1999; Embacher 2001). A brief summary of the various treatments evaluated under SP-205— including highlights of recommended best practices for their application, design, and construction—is presented in the following sections.

THE CONCRETE PAVEMENT TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
The Concrete Pavement Technology Program (CPTP) is a national program of research, development, and technology transfer that operates within the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Pavement Technology.
The CPTP includes some 30 research and demonstration projects, each of which is delivering products for improved design, construction, repair, and rehabilitation of concrete pavements.
The focus areas for the CPTP include advanced designs, optimized concrete materials, improved construction processes, rapid repair and rehabilitation, and user satisfaction. The CPTP continues to produce implementable products that result in safer, smoother, quieter, and longer lasting concrete pavements. Longer lasting pavements, in turn, contribute to FHWA’s success in the areas of safety, congestion mitigation, and environmental stewardship and streamlining.
Technology transfer of products resulting from the CPTP is being accomplished under CPTP Task 65. This 5-year activity was initiated in September 2003 and is overseen by an Executive Expert Task Group (ETG) that includes State Department of Transportation (DOT) chief engineers and representatives from industry and academia.
An Engineering ETG, made up of pavement and materials engineers from State DOTs, FHWA field offices, plus representatives from industry and academia, reviews the technical aspects of CPTP products.
These products include: Guidelines / Technical briefs Test protocols / Draft specifications Software Workshops / Conferences Presentations / Videos Field demonstrations Equipment loans (available from FHWA’s Mobile Concrete Laboratory)
The delivery of CPTP products, in workshops and other formats, is tailored to meet the needs of each State DOT and its related industry groups. For more information, please contact:
