JCMS software provides a standardized joint tool to manage initial (up to 6 months), temporary (up to two years), and semi-permanent (up to 10 years) contingency construction projects that comply with UFC 1-201-01 Non-Permanent DoD Facilities in Support of Military Operations. JCMS can be accessed either online or at a stand-alone
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.
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.
Composite pavement systems mitigate various structural and functional problems that typical flexible or rigid pavements tend to present, such as HMA fatigue, subgrade rutting, PCC erosion, and PCC loss of friction, among others.
Construction Joints. Expansion, isolation and construction joints are created by formwork before the PCC is placed. Since these joints are designed to completely separate adjacent masses of PCC, they are usually made by inserting a small non-PCC piece of material such as a strip of wood.
The first report in the series, Composite Pavement Systems, Volume 1: HMA/PCC Pavements, explores the structural and functional performance of surfacing a new portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement layer with a high-quality hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer.
construction techniques for rehabilitating rigid and flexible pavements. The technical guidelines and reconmendations have been prepared to reflect the views and opinions of the FHWA Construction and Maintenance Division (HH0-30).
