Evaluation Of Novel Jointless Engineered Cementitious Composites Ultrathin Whitetopping (Ecc-Utw), Ricardo Hungria

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Ultrathin Whitetopping (UTW) is a rehabilitation technique that consists of placing a thin layer of concrete over a damaged asphalt pavement. While UTWs have demonstrated satisfactory performance in field tests, the inherent brittleness of concrete has led to the appearance of distresses. To address these distresses, Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) have been proposed for UTW applications, thanks to their exceptional attributes, including tensile ductility, flexural performance, and fatigue resistance. In this study, an ECC-UTW was constructed to investigate its potential as a viable solution. The project comprised two 18.3 m ECC sections with different thicknesses, namely 63.5 mm and 101.6 …
