Bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (BCOA) pavements, also known as whitetopping, can help enhance the structural capacity and rideability of existing asphalt pavement. In this report, the generic term “BCOA” is used to describe all overlays that are between 3-inches and 7-inches thick and placed on an asphalt layer a minimum of 3-inches thick. BCOA is typically designed for a 20-year design life. Rehab should be considered when the distresses in a BCOA are causing ride quality issues or the panels have deteriorating cracks. Agencies have generally utilized concrete pavement restoration (CPR) techniques used for standard concrete pavements on grade to repair such overlays.However, these techniques may or may not be the appropriate repairs to address similar distresses in BCOA pavements. Over the past decade, the popularity of BCOA pavements has grown in many states and many of these projects are now reaching an age where rehab is needed. This has prompted the National Road Research Alliance (NRRA) to compile a synthesis of current practices of repairs being used on BCOA projects by the contributing state agencies. The most common type of repair of a BCOA pavement is to conduct a full-depth removaland replacement of the concrete panels when the area of distresses is localized. The main supporting factor is the BCOA pavement hassuch a thin overlay that it is more cost effective to perform this type of rehabilitation method as compared to the others.

The use of thin bonded concrete overlays on asphalt (BCOAs) as a rehabilitation treatment first gained momentum in the 1990s. Since the first documented thin BCOA application in the United States, in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1991, BCOAs have seen a dramatic increase in popularity. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 1007: Evaluation of Bonded Concrete Overlays on Asphalt Pavements documents BCOA practices through a literature review and agency survey; documents performance through site investigations that assessed in-service design, construction, performance, preservation, and rehabilitation; and compares the results of current design methods with actual performance. Supplemental to the report is NCHRP Web-Only Document 329: Bonded Concrete Overlays on Asphalt Pavements: Resources for Evaluation, which provides Appendices A through G of the contractor's final report.

A project panel was established to provide guidelines for the rehabilitation of concrete pavements in Colorado. Techniques used by other state highway agencies were compared to the type and severity of concrete pavement distress observed in-state. Representatives from the concrete and asphalt pavement paving organizations were also invited to provide input to the study. Suggested methods are provided to renew the design life of deteriorated concrete pavements. Alternative methods of construction from which to choose are included along with examples for comparing life cycle costs.

A major field study and evaluation has been conducted into the effectiveness of three structural overlay types for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. These include sawing and sealing asphalt concrete (AC) overlays of PCC pavements, cracking and seating PCC pavements prior to AC overlay, and constructing a thin bonded PCC overlay on top of the existing PCC pavement. Condition surveys, deflection testing, and roughness measurements were performed on a total of 55 sections. The performance of these sections was evaluated and the effectiveness of each overlay type analyzed.
