POSSIBILITIES FOR REHABILITATION OF ASPHALT ROAD PAVEMENTS USING CONCRETE OVERLAYS

Hristo G. Stamenov

The roads of the national road network, local roads and streets in Bulgaria are mainly constructed with asphalt pavement. Under the combined action of traffic loads and climatic conditions, road surfaces are damaged and their operational features and bearing capacity deteriorate. Due to that during their operational life a moment periodically occurs when they need rehabilitation (major repair). This kind of repairs is traditionally carried out by resurfacing with new asphalt layers. However, there are other, alternative technologies, e.g. concrete overlays, that have been successfully applied in some countries.

The paper presents the possibilities for rehabilitation of asphalt road pavements with concrete overlays. The types of concrete overlays on existing asphalt pavements, the conditions of their application and their technical features are considered.
