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.
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).
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 report documents recommendations for the design and construction of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. The recommendations were derived from the analysis of Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data.
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.
history. At about the same time, the advent of the slipform paver revolutionized and mechanized PCC pavement construction by eliminating the need for conventional side forms. Slipform paving resulted in higher productivity, better overall quality, and better-riding pavements. As the 21st century approaches, the slipform paver with modern
Research Board planning, designing, and constructing portland cement concrete pavements for light traffic conditions, based on experience accumulated during the past 20 years by a number of agencies that have used this type of pavement for low-volume facilities.
