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.
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)
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.
reinforced pcc pavement Reinforced PCC pavement is a pavement constructed with Portland Cement, aggregates and reinforcing steel. Reinforcing steel, in the form of welded wire fabric, is used to control shrinkage cracking and does not add to the structural strength of the pavement. Transverse joint spacing may
Fixed form paving uses a series of preset molds (or “forms”) to shape a rigid pavement. These forms are placed on the graded base or subgrade in the desired shape of the final rigid pavement. They can be made of anything from welded steel sections to simple lumber.
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.
