In fact, every day in every way, everyone is impacted by a transportation network that is largely taken for granted. Whether you are directly or indirectly responsible for or involved in preserving surface transportation infrastructure, or just someone who depends on that network, it is time to take a new look at some of the challenges and new opportunities that are available today After you read "The Right Choice Beneath Your Tires," we invite you to find out even more answers to your questions by visiting www.pavements4life com or by e-mailing us at info@acpa org We'II be happy to provide you with more answers and put you in contact with a local representative in your area. 3 Concrete Pavement Concrete Pavement these Because Highways and Roadways Must Last Longer oncrete has been used to build some of the longest -lasting highways, airports, roadways, and other pavements in the world. Across the U.S , there are concrete highways and roads that were designed to last 20 years, but have lasted 30, 40, or 50 years, or even longer. Many of pavements are carrying significantly more traffic, including larger trucks carrying heavier loads, than engineers originally intended. No matter where you live, you probably have experienced the frequent replacement of roads made from materials that are not as strong and durable as concrete. These pavements were probably a little cheaper to build up front, but in the long run they are robbing all of us with high maintenance costs and lost time from frequent delays for maintenance, resurfacing and replacement. A very simple combination of water, sand, stone, and a little cement creates strong,_long-lasting concrete for pavements. Concrete's basic ingredients have not changed much in 100 years, but new technology is enhancing its features For example, embedded fibers and special chemical additives, created by some of the brightest minds in the industry, make concrete even tougher and able to withstand today's traffic and heavier loads (demands that are predicted to continue to grow). No other paving material, no matter how commonly used, can achieve the same high level of performance as concrete. For the longest lasting highways, airports, and roadways, the right choice to put beneath your tires is concrete pavement. Because the True Cost of Ownership is What Matters very time you pump gasoline or diesel fuel into your car or truck, you are paying taxes for transportation infrastructure. Paying tolls also is payment for the road beneath your tires Taxpayers and road users own the roads and deserve the most informed decisions on how their money is invested. Concrete pavements are unquestionably the right choice because they almost always have the lowest total ownership cost, and because durable concrete naturally requires far less maintenance than asphalt. For decades engineers and agencies have settled for using lower quality materials because building with concrete cost slightly more up front, despite the fact that concrete pavements cost as much as a third less during a 30-to 40-year life cycle. A significant first -cost gap no longer exists today, as inflation of prices for other road - surfacing materials has been far greater than for concrete In many cases, concrete roads not only provide the lowest ownership cost, they are comparably priced or less costly to build up front. Engineers and owners can now more clearly see that, whether they are looking at initial project costs or long-term ownership costs .. concrete pavements, are the right choice beneath your tires 4 5 Concrete Pavement Because the Transportation Network Needs to be Preserved (most all of the work on the nation's highways and roadways aims to preserve what is already there instead of expanding the system's capacity. - Concrete overlays are an excellent choice to help preserve and rehabilitate existing systems Ranging in thickness from 2 inches to 11 inches or more, concrete overlays of existing asphalt, concrete, or composite pavements create a new pavement structure with superior structural and sustainability benefits Concrete overlays can extend the service life of highways, streets, airports, and other pavements by 15 years or more. Concrete overlay construction is fast, efficient, and increasingly competitive with asphalt overlays There's more awareness about these advantages because of recent oil and asphalt paving material price increases, but even if prices ease, concrete provides a viable solution now and for the future Local supplies of raw 4 materials for concrete are readily available while world supplies of oil are limited. Another important consideration is energy conservation in construction Consider that according to Federal Highway Administration figures, a 10-in. thick concrete pavement requires about 1,900 gallons of diesel fuel per mile to construct, while a comparable asphalt pavement requires as much as 5 5 times more fuel. Fuel consumption and costs are lower for concrete during original construction, but also during the life of the pavement, because fuel is also used during frequent resurfacing of shorter -lived pavements Concrete pavements are the right choice beneath our tires because they help preserve our network and conserve valuable resources 6 7 Concrete Pavement Because Safeguarding the is Everyone's Responsibility he world's population grew from 2 9 billion in 1950 to almost 6 8 billion in 2009, according to the U.S Census Bureau. As the population has increased and industrial development has grown with it, the world's supply of natural resources becomes more scarce and at greater risk of depletion. 3 er7aoncibEr — balancing environmental requirements with societal needs and economic considerations -is one of the most important issues of our time. Although going green may be a recent thing for many industries, concrete pavements have a long history of exceptional environmental performance. Recyclability and Reuse — Concrete is the most recycled construction material in the U S , according to the Construction Materials Recycling Association. Concrete is 100% recyclable and reusable, and can be used as aggregate in new concrete pavements, base materials for new roadways, or for other uses, including erosion control and flood prevention. Local Supplies —Concrete pavements are typically produced from abundant supplies of locally available resources, such as rock, sand, cement, and water. Modern concrete also incorporates waste materials, such as slag, which comes from iron manufacturing, and fly ash, a byproduct of energy production. Light Reflectance is naturally light -reflective, which reduces street lighting requirements (and saves energy). This Concrete e nhances safety and helps reduce u rban air temperature (reducing heat island effects) Darker colored paving materials cannot provide these benefits Durability Because concrete pavements last longer than other pavements, they don't waste additional resources, including the fuel consumed in frequent maintenance and repair of pavements made from less durable materials. This also means that there is less traffic congestion with concrete pavement which, in turn, saves fuel that would be used by cars and trucks waiting in traffic, and lowers pollution e mitted from vehicles idling in long construction work zones L9nfngs—Vehicles traveling on concrete roadways use less fuel because the `rolling resistance" is much lower than on other paving materials. A study published by the National Research Council of Canada in 2006 shows that trucks get an average of almost 4 percent better fuel efficiency on concrete pavements A recent study published by the University of Texas at Austin suggests similar fuel economic advantages for cars o n concrete pavements during city driving. Concrete pavements also require less fuel to construct than roads built in many thin layers, like asphalt. In fact, according to fuel usage factors published by the Federal Highway Administration, an asphalt requires about 5 5 times more diesel fuel to construct than a comparable concrete road designed for the same traffic. For pavements that meet sustainability goals, concrete is the best material choice beneath our tires Thermograph reveals cool concrete pavement roadway 8 Because Streetscapes Build Civic Pride ivic leaders and people responsible for planning and building our communities are finding that it is not only possible, but very practical to balance natural elements with man-made structures Concrete plays a key role in transforming cities and towns into beautiful, exciting, thriving areas that support the environment, while also benefiting residents, businesses, and the community. Concretes natural reflectance brightens roadways, parking areas, and sidewalks It looks cleaner and stays clean -looking longer than other construction materials Decorative and colored concrete pavements are breathing new life into urban areas, increasing civic pride Red -colored, stamped concrete is used to simulate brick in crosswalks and other areas to create 10 decorative patterns, which enhance the appearance of the cityscape. Designers have even added state symbols, pictures, and other decorative aspects to concrete roads, bridge columns, crosswalks, and more For planners and public works officials looking to enhance the beauty and functionality of their cities and towns, concrete pavements are the right choice. Pilltarts...4111Msps_ 11 oncrete Pavement Because Innovation Benefits Everyone f there is such a thing as an all-purpose pavement to meet all demands, concrete pavement may well be the answer, as a result of decades of innovation. The concrete pavement industry is continually developing new paving processes and products, all aimed at meeting the changing demands of the traveling public, as well as those of the people responsible for our nation's surface transportation network. A new generation of quiet pavements ... In response to urban noise and the public's demand for quieter urban roadways, the concrete pavement industry has invested millions of dollars to develop and extensively test (in the laboratory and in the field) a unique surface texture that can be used for either new or existing concrete pavements The "Next Generation Concrete Surface" (NGCS) is currently in field evaluations, where it is showing some promising results NGCS sections are proving to be as quiet as or quieter than any alternative, including the newest generations of asphalt pavements Concrete pavements with NGCS are not only quiet when they are first built, they remain quiet during their service lives A different kind of CIP. a o All pavements eventually need to be repaired or replaced. This is true because of the effects of routine wear and tear, the effects of constant changes in the environment surrounding the pavement, and the soils beneath the pavement. (Photo: Matt Zeller, CPAM) A technique called concrete pavement restoration (CPR) can preserve and extend the service life of older concrete pavements when sections become uneven or when the pavement loses some of its surface features This typically involves grinding away a small amount of the surface to remove bumps and minor damage, leaving a like -new pavement that is smooth, quiet, durable, and safe Diamond grinding is almost always a cost-effective alternative to overlays, particularly on heavily traveled routes where asphalt resurfacing may last only five to seven years Diamond grinding can extend highway pavement life by another 16 or 17 years, according to research by the California Department of Transportation. Stormwater manatae Uv2U-2 Pervious concrete pavements provide an innovative solution for stormwater management in urban areas These highly porous concrete pavements allow pollutants to be trapped as water is drained, which helps cities, towns, and counties meet "best management practices" in stormwater management. Fast -track paving ... "Get in, do it right, get out, and stay out!" This is not just a promise, it's a way of life for the concrete pavement industry. In cases where construction or repairs are on particularly busy pavement sections, fast -track (continued on next page) lay. technology / Dowel Bar Retrofit (Photo: IGGA) 12 Because Innovation Benefits Everyone (continued) paving is the answer. Unique planning and construction staging techniques, advanced traffic management, and special rapid -setting concrete mixtures are used to build or rehabilitate pavements quickly and with minimal disruption. Many fast -track pavements have been completed overnight and then opened to rush hour traffic the next morning. Pre -cast concrete slabs ... New techniques using pre -cast concrete slabs are also gaining popularity. Precast slabs are made in an off -site facility, shipped to the construction site and lifted into place, allowing traffic to resume using the roadway within hours Better resurfacing ... Thin concrete overlays, measuring 2 inches to 4 inches thick, were created by industry engineers of the ACPA to provide a cost-effective alternative to thin asphalt overlays pavements, which typically last less than 10 years Concrete overlays typically outlast the competition, as well as exceed their life expectancy. The result? Some of the earliest and thinnest concrete overlays, placed in the early 1980's, were carrying traffic for nearly 20 years —more than twice their engineered design life Summary ... For today and tomorrow, concrete pavement is the most cost-effective, most sustainable choice for highways, airports, roadways, and other pavement applications Concrete pavements are the right choice beneath your tires Precast concrete panel ILEA Las About the ACPA The American Concrete Pavement Association is the national trade association for the concrete pavement industry.
