By the 1930s, several PCC pavement design features began to evolve. First, typical slab thicknesses were about 200 mm with several states using a thickened edge design (maximum of about 225 mm).
The historical data should be consulted construction and maintenance records, types and thicknesses of layer materials, sub-grade, traffic, pavement conditions, and so on.
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.
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)
Provide examples to assist agencies with integrating pavement construction history into a pavement management system. Illustrate different ways to capture maintenance and construction history data. Demonstrate why construction history is critically important to pavement management.
The required data files for pavement performance modeling include (a) segment inventory, (b) pavement rehabilitation history, (c) asphalt concrete (AC) surface condition, (d) portland cement concrete (PCC) surface condition, and (e) pavement-related minor maintenance. Table 1 lists the data used for pavement performance modeling.
The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database provides data suitable for developing predictive models for Portland cement concrete (PCC) materials, stabilized materials, and unbound materials, as well as other design-related inputs for the MEPDG.
