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.
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.
Chapter 1 presents the introduction and background. Chapter 2 includes details of test sections, and Chapter 3 covers the vari- ous aspects of the research relevant to analysis and modeling. Design and construction guidelines are included in Chapters 4 and 5, respectively.
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.
In either approach, the service life must be estimated with sufficient accuracy and also the standard deviation and distribution must be esti- mated for the probabilistic approach. Recommendations for PCC/PCC composite pavement: 1. Service life (PCC layer structural life).
The following is an outline of the CPDM with a brief description of each chapter: Chapter 1, Introduction and Glossary - states the purpose and objectives of the CPDM, a brief overview of each chapter and a glossary of common pavement related terms.
