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.
The first report in the series, Composite Pavement Systems, Volume 1: HMA/PCC Pavements, explores the structural and functional performance of surfacing a new portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement layer with a high-quality hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer.
If PCC pavement construction is to stay competitive, ways must be found to place concrete more economically, with less delay to the traffic, and in a way that the pavements provide more assurance of a maintenance-free design life.
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.
During the 20th century, the PCC paving industry has seen many new design concepts, as well as innovations in construction techniques and productivity that have enhanced competitiveness and quality.
1 gru 2021 · A 35-year period of as-built data from 1983 to 2017 was analyzed, involving 37 treatment strategies with 17 for asphalt and 20 for Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements. The top ten treatment strategies, geographical and temporal variation of treated mileage, together with treatment costs and corresponding network condition were presented.
