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.
TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R21-RR-3: Composite Pavement Systems, Volume 2: PCC/PCC Composite Pavements investigates the structural and functional performance of placing a relatively thin, high-quality PCC surface atop a thicker PCC layer.
PCC: While PCC is durable under compressive loads, it is prone to cracking under tensile stress, leading to maintenance issues over time. RCC : Offers superior durability and can withstand substantial stress and strain, resulting in lower maintenance costs over its lifespan.
PCC Paving Procedures. The general rigid pavement construction procedure involves placement, consolidation, finishing, curing and jointing in rapid succession. “ Placement ” involves any equipment or procedures used to place the delivered PCC on the desired surface at the desired thickness; “ consolidation ” involves any means used to ...
The PCC substructure is the primary load-carrying layer and is designed to provide a durable, long- lasting pavement with low fatigue damage and a strong base, whereas the HMA layer is primarily a functional layer with excellent surface characteristics that can be renewed rapidly. history HMA/PCC composite pavements are by no means a recent ...
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.
Highway and Transportation Officials Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, Interim Edition: A Manual of Practice, commonly known as the MEPDG, can be used to estimate the influence of several fundamental engineering material parameters on the long-term performance of a pavement.
