Diamond grinding is a maintenance strategy that is used on older concrete streets that extends the life of the pavement before needing to be reconstructed. Also, it provides a smoother ride and reduces the impact stress on the pavement and base which also extends the pavement life.
The Rural Road Design, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Guide was developed to provide the counties of South Dakota with an established, uniform set of guidelines for the design, maintenance, and rehabilitation of rural roads. The guidelines address items such as roadway geometry (horizontal and vertical), typical roadway surface
Diamond grinding addresses serviceability problems but not their root cause. For example, diamond grinding can substantially reduce the roughness on a faulted rigid pavement, but it will not address the cause of faulting, nor will it prevent roughness in the future as a result of additional faulting.
Concrete diamond grinding removes roadway imperfections caused by construction and/or heavy usage. The immediate result is an improvement in pavement smoothness, surface texture, skid resistance, safety, and noise reduction.
There are two stitching methods used to repair and strengthen cracks or joints in concrete pave- ment. The first, and most common, is cross- stitching. Cross-stitching uses deformed tie bars epoxied or grouted into holes drilled at an angle through a crack. The second, slot-stitching, uses deformed tie bars grouted into slots cut across a joint or crack.

The most common pavement ...
Diamond grinding is a well-established technology that has been utilized extensively since the 1960s to provide a smooth yet textured surface for existing concrete pavements that have been repaired adequately. Diamond grinding in combination with other repairs can reduce the existing pavement International Roughness Index (IRI) from 20 to 80
This Technical Bulletin recommends procedures for selecting, designing, and construction of diamond grinding in portland cement concrete pavements. Diamond grinding consists of removing surface irregularities from concrete pavements that are often caused by faulting, curling, and warping of the slabs. The main benefits of properly using this technique include smoother ride, reduced road noise ...
Nov 28, 2014· This report outlines the testing and evaluation of a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) on IH35W near Fort Worth rehabilitated using diamond grinding instead of applying an asphalt overlay to extend the serviceability of the old concrete pavement. Surface macrotexture, skid, roughness and noise testing was done prior to the diamond grinding to establish reference levels for ...
5.9. When diamond grinding is used to retexture an existing concrete pavement, any concrete pavement preservation activities, except for joint sealing, shall be completed prior to any diamond grinding. 5.10. After diamond grinding is completed, all joints and cracks that were diamond ground shall be cleaned and sealed in accordance with plans.

Although typically used for rigid pavement surface restoration, diamond grinding can be used to eliminate relatively small surface distortions in existing rigid pavement prior to flexible or rigid overlays. Because it roughens the existing rigid pavement surface, diamond grinding also improves the bond between the existing pavement and the overlay.
