Welcome to the Pavement History Straight-line application. This application provides a quick solution for identifying approximate PennDOT highway segment locations and displaying the pavement history for that segment.
The first PCC pavement in the U.S. was constructed in 1891 in Bellefontaine, Ohio. This pavement was only 3.0 m wide and 67.1 m long (probably what we would call a “test section” today). In 1909, in Wayne County, Michigan, a PCC highway system was constructed.
Plain PCC pavement is a pavement constructed with Portland Cement and aggregates without reinforcing steel. Shrinkage is controlled by the use of short joint spacing, which is normally 15’ to 20’.
Many people believe that the history of concrete pavements began in 1894 with the placement in Bellefontaine, Ohio. That pavement is still in use, and the American Concrete Pavement Association recently memorialized its builder, George Bartholomew, on the pavement's centennial.
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.
• Covers all systems and pavement types with wide range of pavement conditions • IV&V review of results from control sites to: • Measure precision and bias values for roughness and rutting measurements • Calibrate the pavement distress rating process •Contractors ratings are reviewed against reference values (based on average
4 sie 2020 · The objective of this study is to determine realistic Pennsylvania-specific elastic modulus (E PCC) values and layer coefficients (LC) to characterize the in situ behavior of fractured PCC layer for jointed reinforced concrete pavements (JRCP) and jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP).
