BITUMINOUS
PAVEMENTS: Problems

• Require repeated maintenance


• Distress in early service life
– Rutting,
– Cracking,
– Settlement
– Pot holes
• Expensive if
service life cost
considered
BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS :
UPGRADATION

• Current Practice
– Patch repairs with bitumen
– Occasional upgradation
with a Bitumen overlay
– Results : deterioration
unabated
• Is there an alternative?
– Which is
• Durable
• Cost-effective
• Technically superior
What is
Whitetopping?
 Plain cement concrete layer constructed
on top of an existing HMA-(hot mix asphalt ) pavement)
 Well established and proven technique in
the Western countries
 Used to combat rutting in truck corridors
 Usual Pavement thickness > 200 mm
• Asphalt layer acts as a base layer
• Studies indicates good to excellent
performance
Contd….
What TWT
and UTW ?
• Thin Whitetopping (TWT)
– Pavement thickness – 100-200mm
– In most cases, designed and constructed
without consideration of bond between
HMA and concrete
• Ultra-Thin Whitetopping (UTW)
– Pavement thickness < 100mm
– designed and constructed with
consideration of bond between HMA and
concrete
– Closer joint spacing Contd….
Typical c/s of
UTW
HISTORY OF UTW (USA)

YEAR
ADVANTAGES OF
UTW
 Reduced thickness
 Fast-Track construction
 Reduced maintenance
 Cost-Effective compared to asphalt overlays
 Improved service life
 Little pre-overlay repairs
 Improvement in safety in view of the
increased reflection of light
 Reduction in operational costs and lower
absorption of solar energy
 Improving the environmental benefits
Necessity of
Sound Bond
• UTW overlays are designed &
constructed with sound bond
between plan concrete and HMA
material
• Ensures composite action between
Asphalt and Concrete
• Stresses in the top concrete layer
are low in view of the composite
action
Characterisation
of HMA
• Adequate characterization of
HMA highly essential for UTW
• Visual Inspection
• Lab. and field Tests
- The Hamburg wheel track test
- Dynamic Modulus test
- Falling weight deflectometer
Design of UTW
• Thickness of UTW determined by:
– Type & Volume of existing and
expected traffic
– Strength & Condition of existing
pavement
– Material properties of the concrete
• Design Method
– Developed by the PCA, USA
Concrete mixes for UTW :
Main Parameters

• Fast-Track type construction


-One day Flexural strength: 4 MPa
-One day Compressive Strength : 35MPa
• Mix requirements
– Mineral admixtures
• Silica fumes,
• Fly-ash
• Or a combination of two
– Low water/binder ratio
– Use of a Superplaticiser
– Synthetic fibers, if required

• Pre-overlay repair
– Creation of uniform support to concrete
pavement essential
– Repair of cracks, shoving, leveling
– Milling creates
better bond

Adequate Curing
Joints in UTW
• Usual spacing : 12 to 15 times
thickness (0.6 to1.8 m)
• Shorter spacing reduces curling
stresses
• Early Joint cutting essential
• Can use “early entry” saws
Conclusions &
Suggestions
• UTW is a well established technique
• Sufficient experience in the use of
this technique is already avaialbale
in the West
• In India, adoption of UTW may be
considered as an alternate to
upgradation of bituminous
pavements with HMA
• Some experimental stretches using
UTW can be laid immediately to gain
experience
Case Study
• An experimental stretch was laid at
Mahul road, Chembur on 5th March
’07
• Length=26m
• Width=3.25m
• Thickness=0.1m
• Joint cutting was done at after every
1.08m
• Curing was done for 3 days
