16. Abstract
Concrete pavement restoration (CPR) techniques have gained greater national significance as DOT agencies attempt to
further extend infrastructure service lives prior to required major rehabilitation or reconstruction. Various publications
have documented design procedures and materials for CPR techniques, but less has been written about best practices
for their construction, based on information from contractor and DOT agency practitioners. This report consolidates
best practice case studies for six CPR techniques: cross-stitching, dowel bar retrofit, diamond grinding, full depth
repair, partial depth repair and slab stabilization. Technical briefs for each CPR case study have also been written to
accompany the main report. They have been separately published.

Overview of the Report
This report is a compilation of six individual case studies on different repair methods. In
addition, a technical brief has also been prepared for each case study. They have been separately
published (see list below).
