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.
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.
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.
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).
Example Cost Analysis of PCC/PCC Pavement Initial Cost Analysis An illustrative example of LCCA for a PCC/PCC composite pavement with EAC texture was prepared by the MnROAD paving contractor on behalf of this SHRP 2 R21 research.
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.
25 wrz 2018 · 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 evaluated.
