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.
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.
For a typical single-layer PCC pavement, the effective dynamic k-value is obtained by first determining the deflection profile of the PCC surface using an elastic layer pro- gram, modeling all layers specified for the design (Figure 3.37).
25 wrz 2018 · Composite (HMA/PCC) Pavement Inputs in the MEPDG. The MEPDG evaluates HMA/PCC pavements in two steps. First, the pavement system is analyzed as a rigid pavement to model continued cracking of the underlying PCC pavement. The HMA distresses are then modeled, including thermal cracking, fatigue cracking, and rutting, and overall IRI is also ...
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.
This work consisted of four separate efforts related to best practices for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement design and construction: (1) a review of past and current PCC pavement, (2) an analysis of PCC pavement studded tire wear on the WSDOT network, (3) a life cycle assessment (LCA) of PCC pavement rehabilitation options and (4) an ...
