Abstract
Bonded concrete overlays have been used for nearly 100 year to extend the life of pavements, concrete slabs, bridge decks or other structural slabs. First, this chapter describes material selection, for slabs on grade and pavements; joints; and construction procedures including steel placement, environmental effects, and curing. Secondly, the bonded concrete overlay (BCO) process is described: the steps required in project selection; design of the BCO; construction, and quality assurance with flow charts included to provide a graphical overview.
