Paving the road of the future. Part 1 of 2

Precast / Prestressed Concrete Pavement. Field demonstrations of FHWAs system for Precast Prestressed
Concrete Pavement used by a number of State DOTs.
The video examines the feasibility of using precast pretensioned panels for roadway segments that are assembled on-site and post-tensioned.

The essential concepts for FHWAs precast prestressed concrete pavement system can summarized as follows:
•Precasting is performed utilizing the facilities already familiar to bridge engineers.
•Stockpiling of precast panels provides for rapid delivery as needed.
•Constructability and performance are facilitated by the design features of the precast panels.

I'd rather see Solar Roadways take over construction of our roads.

[Rex Follett]

Here is a video to solar roadways

Solar roadways would be better!

[ertyuhjgfdfgh]

Too expensive and can't easly take them off for work on waterlines or whatever.

@78kalpeshgmail you can see them building a parking lot in Colorado! time is now! go solar roadways!

[78kalpeshgmail]

we won't be seeing those for a long time. at least till time time oil and coal is readily available.

Thanks for your help. Frogs in the ponds,

Oh and you need more equpment ( cranes loaders rollers flat beds fork lifts etc)

[luke fox]

That will take way to long asphalt is way faster and plus asphalt you don't need to re do the hole thing u just need to redo sections this every 10 to 15 years you need to re do the hole thing

[irish69ist]

why do we as a people say something isn't possible this country has the means and the money to do what's right we just waste it in so many ways solar roads can be done and would save us lots of money in the long hall lets get it done america and now

[Brennan Rouhana]

Interesting

[Mike Wasylkewicz]

there is too much expansion and contraction here in PA to use a system like this it will buckle and pop and become very wavy between each section
