Field Validation for the Constructability of Exposed Aggregate Concrete Overlay

Functional performance of existing concrete pavement is necessarily improved to maintain the low tire-pavement noise and the long-term skid resistance. Thus, exposed aggregate concrete overlay is introduced since these high functional performances are expected. Its surface texture requires the remov...

description Functional performance of existing concrete pavement is necessarily improved to maintain the low tire-pavement noise and the long-term skid resistance.
