How and Why Thinner Concrete Overlays Work Sawn Control Joints with Shorter Spacing Larger Joint Spacing-More Random Cracks Short joint spacing allows the slabs to deflect instead of bend. This reduces slab stresses to reasonable values.

Project Profile John Elway Chevrolet 5200 S. Broadway, Denver, CO Constructed: Phase 1 Oct 2011 Scope of Work: 3 concrete overlay on existing asphalt car dealership. Dealer has goal to be the greenest car dealer in Colorado and is using concrete overlays as part of that goal. Design Factors: Existing asphalt in typical condition in need of overlay. Minimal noticeable failures in base. Area behind building in dumpster area required total reconstruction due to drainage. Concrete: ACI 330 standard 4000 psi spec mix. Slump at placement 4-5 inch. No fibers. Placement: Placed by laser screed, straight edged, broom finish, full coverage white pigmented cure. Early entry saw cut joints 6 spacing max, T/3 depth, no joint sealant. Oct 24, 2011 Update: Oct 28, 2011 First phase (100,000 SF) of multi phase/multi location project. Contractor and subs refining their processes.

A more viable option for parking lot owners is a technology called concrete overlay. New concrete is poured directly on top of an existing AC pavement. Concrete overlays offer significant long term cost savings for parking lot owners. Two key points include: * Concrete overlay lasts 20 years Alligator and Thermal Cracking, Potholes, Popouts, Raveling and Rutting from overuse normally associated with AC paving is eliminated. Concrete overlays are better suited for normal wear and tear from vehicles. Leaks from vehicles don t damage the surface. * Concrete overlay is a green solution. Concrete has a high solar reflectivity and absorbs less energy reducing heat. Urban Micro Heating is becoming a growing concern and Concrete parking lots can reducing the temperature around facilities thus lowering energy costs. It also creates a more luminous surface that reduces lighting requirements by as much as 50%. I would like to perform some field survey on the phase one of your parking lot improvements. This allows for feasibility determination early in the project (At no risk to the Owner). Listed below is a typical outline of our process. Also, below are before and after photos of a recent concrete overlay at Orange Lutheran High School, in Orange California.

Guide for Concrete Overlays of Asphalt Parking Lots
What is an overlay? Formally known as: Whitetopping Thin Whitetopping Thin Overlay
What is an overlay? Let s end the confusion.. Formally known as: Whitetopping Thin Whitetopping Thin Overlay Let s think about resurfacing with concrete
Points-To-Know Concrete overlays are a method to resurface existing asphalt paving-and then some: Renew the wear surface-black to white Increase the load carrying capacity of the pavement Improve lighting-reduce heat island Eliminate perpetual asphalt maintenance To give owners a choice Concrete overlays give support credit to the original asphalt construction for base and subgrade.

What one TAC member said on completion of the guide: The new document is a quantum leap for this field, for which I see spectacular potential in the coming years. I am planning on getting with my big clients and other commercial clients after it comes out to suggest they greatly increase their use of concrete overlays over their asphalt parking lots and specify the use of this document.
