Almost all rigid pavement is made with Portland Cement Concrete (PCC). Rigid pavements are differentiated into three major categories by their means of crack control: Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) This is the most common type of rigid pavement.
By the 1930s, several PCC pavement design features began to evolve. First, typical slab thicknesses were about 200 mm with several states using a thickened edge design (maximum of about 225 mm).
Slipform paving is defined as a process used to consolidate, form into geometric shape and surface finish a PCC mass by pulling the forms continuously through and surrounding the plastic concrete mass.
Design Example – Part 2. Design a flexible pavement for this number of ESALs using (1) the WSDOT table, and (2) the design equation utility in the WSDOT Pavement Guide Interactive. Assume the following: Reliability = 95% (Z. R = -1.645 , S.
The Concrete Pavement Guideis divided into 19 topical chapters organized into 4 parts: Part 1 provides general information and an overview of concrete pavement strategies and evaluation; Part 2 covers new concrete pavement and reconstruction strategies; Part 3 preservation strategies; and Part 4 rehabilitation strategies.
The history of portland cement concrete over portland cement concrete (PCC/PCC) composite pavements in the United States dates back to the first concrete pavement constructed in the United States, located in Bellefontaine, OH, in 1891, shown in Figure 1.
The appendices to the two-volume report provide additional detail, understanding, and history on HMA/PCC and PCC/PCC pavements. The project that produced this report also produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R21-RW-1: 2008 Survey of European Composite Pavements.
