In the fall of 2015, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) initiated a study to investigate the effects of joint sawing practices on concrete joint durability. The study, completed by researchers at Marquette University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City, included the construction of two concrete pavement test sections and the review of a number of in-service pavements with and without joint distress. John Kevern, UMKC associate professor of engineering,
was one of the authors of the article.
