Diamond Grinding – PCC Pavements. Although typically used for rigid pavement surface restoration, diamond grinding can be used to eliminate relatively small surface distortions in existing rigid pavement prior to flexible or rigid overlays. Because it roughens the existing rigid pavement surface, diamond grinding also improves the bond ...

PCC pavement grinding is an operation used to preserve pavement ride quality/friction, rehabilitate pavements, or facilitate construction widening by removing or reducing undulations in the pavement from curling within a slab or step offs between slabs (a.k.a. faulting).

covers those activities and maintenance treatments for concrete pavements (PCC). These include the following: • Temporary patching of PCC pavements • Permanent patching of PCC Pavements • Shoulder repairing • Crack and joint sealing and contracted crack and joint sealing • Grinding • Mud jacking Purpose

Section 2532. Pavement Surface Repair (Diamond Grinding) 2532.01 description.. A. Use a diamond grinder to grind an existing PCC pavement surface, used as traffic surface, for profile improvement. Perform grinding and texturing at the locations shown in the contract documents.

Diamond grinding (Figure 1) refers to a process where gang-mounted diamond saw blades (Figures 2 and 3) are used to shave off a thin, 1.5 – 19 mm (0.06 – 0.75 inch) top layer of an existing PCC surface in order to restore smoothness and friction characteristics. Most often, it is used to restore roadway friction or remove roughness caused by faulting, studded tire wear, …

For. rehabbed PCC pavements, the department is planning to lengthen. its 10-plus year extension of surface pavement life philosophy. to 20 to 25 years before major rehabilitation becomes necessary. Field practice. Taking part in four of the diamond-. grinding projects, totaling more than $15 million in contracts.

PCC Surface Characteristics – Rehabilitation TPF-5(134) This pooled fund project is evaluating the performance of four sections at MnROAD: a transversely tined surface, a conventional grinding, and two variations of New Generation Concrete Surface (NGCS) developed at …

The PCC/PCC composite pavement can provide low noise with the EAC surface or with a special diamond-ground surface that will last a long time because of the high-quality aggregates in the surface layer. â ¢ Stimulation of competition: A PCC/PCC composite pavement with low life-cycle costs stimulates increased competition. â ¢ Noise issues ...

A study was initiated by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to investigate the effects of spot diamond grinding on the performance and material properties of concrete pavement. A field survey was conducted to assess the conditions of selected spot …

To restore a 25-year old PCC pavement on the airport's main runway, grooving and grinding were used as the final step in this CPR project to extend pavement life and enhance the high level of service.

Diamond grooving and grinding of aging portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement renews the pavement, providing a smoother-riding surface while enhancing skid-resistance and reducing pavement noise ...

grinding in Portland cement concrete pavements. Diamond grinding consists of removing surface irregularities from concrete pavements that are often caused by faulting, curling, and warping of the slabs. The main benefits of properly using this technique include smoother ride, reduced road noise, and improved friction.
