Concrete Whitetopping

Evaluating an Existing Parking Lot

 

    To ensure satisfactory performance of a new concrete overlay, the factors that caused deterioration of the existing asphalt parking lot need to be corrected and recognized in the design. The engineer should examine the existing pavement to find the probable reasons for its deterioration. Asphalt pavement failures are generally due to one or more of these factors:

 

  • Heavy traffic

 

  • Drainage problems

 

  • Poor construction

 

  • Inadequate subgrade conditions

 

  • Substandard conditions
