Abstract

Iowa DOT research in 1986, demonstrated that carbide tooth milling can produce an acceptable surface texture. Based upon that research, specifications were developed for "Pavement Surface Repair (Milling)". This specification was applied to reprofile a nine-mile section of badly faulted portland cement concrete (pcc) pavement on route 163 just east of Des Moines. The Profile Index (measured with a 25-foot California Profilograph) was improved from an average of 55.2 inches per mile prior to milling to 10.6 inches per mile after milling. The bid price was $0.75 per square yard for pcc containing limestone coarse aggregate and $1.21 for pcc containing gravel coarse aggregate. Carbide tooth milling should be considered as an acceptable alternate method of reprofiling even though there is some spalling of joints.
