Evaluation of the Long-Term Durability of Joints Cut Using Early-Entry Saws on Rigid Pavements
This project will establish the current national state-of-the-practice regarding the use of early entry sawing for concrete pavements, and discuss how it differ from Illinois Department of Transportation's (IDOT's) current conventional wet sawing technique. Differences in freeze-thaw durability and resistance to deicers between conventionally sawed joints and early entry sawed joints will be determined. Based on the collected data, is will be determined whether the early entry saw technique is viable for IDOT work.
