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.
Download our updated report: IS-117 Guidelines for Use of Asphalt Overlays to Rehabilitate PCC Pavements. Highlight features & benefits. Understand the rehabilitation process and the rehabilitation of PCC pavements with asphalt overlays; Mix design for asphalt overlays ; Research backed by case studies:
general information and an overview of concrete pavement strategies and evaluation; Part 2 covers new concrete pavement and reconstruction strategies; Part 3 preservation strategies; and Part 4 rehabilitation strategies.
By the 1930s, several PCC pavement design features began to evolve. First, typical slab thicknesses were about 200 mm with several states using a thickened edge design (maximum of about 225 mm).
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.
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 basic findings were that (1) the HDM-4 PCC pavement deterioration models cannot be used at this time by WSDOT, and (2) the NCHRP 1-37A models are able to be calibrated with some limited exceptions. This report provides the details associated with these findings.
