Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use asphalt to repair or resurface the cracked concrete in the office parking lot?

Four-Way Asphalt Paving, Inc.
It’s not recommended. The coefficient of expansion for concrete is different than that for asphalt. The failed areas telegraph through to the new surface of asphalt, cracking not only at the site of the cracks you wanted to repair, but at the expansion joints as well.

Why do we use concrete shoulders with PCC lanes when asphalt concrete shoulders are less expensive?

Division of Design - Pavement - Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: Tied concrete shoulders (with tie bars) provide stress reduction along the longitudinal joint between the outside lane and the shoulder. The largest amount of stress from truck tires is along the outside edge of pavement, so the tied shoulder spreads the load more uniformly across the longitudinal joint. An asphalt concrete shoulder does not connect to the PCC and does not provide that edge support like a tied PCC shoulder.

What if my concrete is cracked or pitted?

Concrete Surfaces Unlimited - Decorative Concrete Overlays -...
We fix cracks as necessary by grinding them out and re-bonding them with an epoxy crack filler. The crack is then covered by the overlay. However, there is no guarantee that cracks will not return, and we do not warranty cracks. It is usually best to try to integrate cracks into the design of the overlay to minimize their visibility should they return.

Architectural Block, Architectural Masonry Products, Masonry...
Properly installed Anchor Concrete paving stones provide a superior pavement to asphalt and concrete in a freeze/thaw environment. Paving stones provide a rigid yet flexible pavement that will expand and contract with the freeze/thaw cycles. Each paving stone provides an expansion joint to allow for this movement, unlike concrete slabs that have expansion joints formed and cut into them.

Do you recommend asphalt or concrete surfaces?

FAQ's for MGC Developer
Although asphalt may seem to be the best choice, years have shown us that concrete actually lasts longer, will not break up in the turns and is white instead of black – making it about 40 degrees cooler in the sun. The extra heat and rough surface of asphalt can wear out a set of tires in 2 weeks during the peak season. Asphalt also must be sealed to protect it from damage by gasoline and oil.
