At least 24 hours before each paving shift, submit the following information as an informational submittals:
1. Early age stress and strength predictions
2. Schedule of sawing and curing activities
3. Contingency plan if cracking occurs
Submit the test data for the coefficient of thermal expansion of the concrete as an informational submittal.
40-4.01D Quality Assurance
The QC plan must include a procedure for identifying the locations of transverse contraction joints relative to the dowel bars longitudinal centers and a procedure for consolidating concrete around the dowel bars.
Develop and implement a system for predicting stresses and strength during the initial 72 hours after paving. The system must include:
1. Subscription to a weather service to obtain forecasts for wind speed, ambient temperatures, humidity, and cloud cover
2. Portable weather station with an anemometer, temperature, and humidity sensors to be located at the paving site
3. Early-age concrete pavement stress and strength prediction plan
4. Methods for analyzing, monitoring, updating, and reporting predictions
Test for coefficient of thermal expansion of the concrete under AASHTO T 336. Test at field qualification and at a frequency of 1 test for each 5,000 cu yd of paving but not less than 1 test for a project with less than 5,000 cu yd of concrete.

40-4.03 CONSTRUCTION 40-4.03A General
Transverse contraction joints on a curve must be on a single straight line through the radius point of the curve. If transverse joints do not align in a curve, drill a full-depth 2-inch-diameter hole under ASTM C42/C42M where the joint meets the adjacent slab. Fill the hole with joint filler. If joints are not sealed, do not allow joint filler to penetrate the joint.
40-4.03B Correcting Noncompliant Pavement Work
To replace the JPCP, saw cut and remove it full depth. Saw cut full slabs at the longitudinal and transverse joints. Saw cut partial slabs at the joints and at locations determined by the Engineer. The saw cut must be vertical.
After lifting the slab, paint the cut ends of dowels and tie bars.
Construct transverse and longitudinal construction joints between the new slab and the existing concrete. If slabs are constrained at both longitudinal edges by the existing pavement, use dowel bars instead of tie bars. For longitudinal joints, offset dowel bar holes from original tie bars by 3 inches. For transverse joints, offset dowel bar holes from the original dowel bar by 3 inches.
Drill and bond bars to the existing concrete under section 41-10. Clean loose material and contaminants from the faces of joints and the underlying base. Coat the faces with a double application of pigmented curing compound under section 28-2.03F. For partial slab replacements, place preformed sponge-rubber expansion joint filler at new transverse joints under ASTM D1752. Place concrete in the area where you removed JPCP.
