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.
Construction Joints, sometimes called “headers” are usually made to separate successive construction activities; they do not serve any design purpose. However, with proper planning, construction joints can often be made to coincide with other planned joints, such as a transverse contraction joint.
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
• PCC materials: Compressive strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength, and coefficient of thermal expansion. • Stabilized materials: Elastic modulus of lean concrete base.
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 ...
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.
There are many factors that contribute to the roughness of a pavement surface. The most common cause of roughness is pavement distress; common portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement distresses that contribute to roughness include joint faulting, spalling, deteriorated transverse cracks, and punchouts.
