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. 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) This is the most common type of rigid pavement.
Interestingly, portland cement concrete (PCC) was not used as a pavement wearing course much until after about 1910 (Agg, 1940); however, it was regularly used as a “stiff” base to support other wearing courses such as wooden blocks, bricks, cobble stones, etc.
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.
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 ...
The appendices to the two-volume report provide additional detail, understanding, and history on HMA/PCC and PCC/PCC pavements. The project that produced this report also produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R21-RW-1: 2008 Survey of European Composite Pavements.
A study has been conducted to evaluate and analyze Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements in order to develop recommendations for the design and construction of long-lived concrete pavements.
