Both of these new composite pavement systems have shown great promise for providing strong, durable, safe, smooth, and quiet pavements that need minimal maintenance. The appendices to the two-volume report provide additional detail, understanding, and history on HMA/PCC and PCC/PCC pavements.
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.
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.
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)
25 wrz 2018 · In addition, in PCC pavements, loss of support at slab corners can be identified and evaluation of the joint or crack load transfer can be performed using deflection testing. Pavement deflections represent an overall system response of the pavement structure and subgrade soil to an applied load.
Procedure for PCC Pavements 1. Based on engineering mechanics principles as much as possible 2. Characterize structure with FEM (stresses and deflections from traffic and climatic loads) 3. Characterize traffic loads as distributions of single, tandem, tridem axles
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.
