Paving asphalt overlay is one of the most commonly used measures in reinforcement and reconstruction of old cement concrete pavement. It can improve the pavement performance efficaciously and economically. The recon- struction engineering practice of tertiary highway in Hubei Province is combined with in this paper. According to the latest "Specifications for Design of Highway Cement Concrete Pavement", we successively investigated the pave- ment distress condition, joints' load transfer ability, slab suspending condition and pavement struct...
