Preliminary Assessment of the Potential Use of Alternative Materials for Concrete Highway Pavement Joints, 1997

The overall objective of the work contained in this paper is to identify background information on the use of load-transfer devices in highway pavement joints and to provide a preliminary assessment of the market potential for use of alternative materials in that capacity. The intent of the authors is to provide a concise compilation of information upon which HITEC personnel may judge whether or not the use of alternative materials for concrete highway pavement joints is worth a more thorough and rigorous evaluation.
