Description: The National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (CP Tech Center) at Iowa State University conducted a four-year, multi-state concrete overlay construction program to demonstrate and document the concept and benefits of various concrete overlay applications and provide real-world lessons. Teams of CP Tech Center I FHWA experts completed 26 field site visits in 18 states and provided workshops or technical assistance on overlay projects in six additional states. The site visits included four open house demonstration projects. A report with recommendations was prepared for each of the site visits. As a result of the site visits and recommendations, concrete overlays were either constructed or scheduled for construction in nine states, and the teams provided additional advice and assistance as requested during the course of these projects. During the site visits, workshops, project planning, and construction, the teams recognized opportunities to improve concrete overlay projects for a variety of applications, and the final report includes an overview of these lessons learned. Volume I of this final report outlines the field applications program purpose, activities, and results/lessons learned. Volume II includes copies of all documents prepared during the course of the program.
