Abstract

Highway 40 in the Vaudreuil-Dorion area is a very heavily traveled concrete divided roadway. In 1994, a design-build call for proposals was made for the reconstruction of a 5,5-km section of the westbound pavement. The contract was awarded to an unbonded concrete trapezoidal overlay project with a 10-year performance guarantee. While this proposal was innovative in several respects, the term of the performance guarantee was what made it exceptional. The concrete pavement criteria under guarantee are potholes, spalling, cracking, joint sealing, rutting, skid resistance and profilometry. The behaviour of this pavement until now has tended to demonstrate the feasibility and relevance of a 10-year guarantee on a concrete pavement, even under very heavy truck traffic.
