TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R05-RR-1: Precast Concrete Pavement Technology reviews the available precast concrete pavement (PCP) systems; summarizes PCP applications; and offers suggested guidelines for the design, fabrication, installation, and selection of PCP systems.

An e-book version of this report is available for purchase at Amazon, Google, and iTunes.

The same project that produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R05-RR-1 also produced model specifications for precast concrete pavement. These model specifications are built on specifications developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Technology Implementation Group and on more recent specifications developed by transportation agencies including Caltrans, the New York State DOT, the New Jersey DOT, the Illinois Tollway Authority, and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.
