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.
For a typical single-layer PCC pavement, the effective dynamic k-value is obtained by first determining the deflection profile of the PCC surface using an elastic layer pro- gram, modeling all layers specified for the design (Figure 3.37).
A PCC overlay of an existing flexible pavement, called “whitetopping”, is a newer, viable rehabilitation alternative for flexible pavements. The overlayed rigid layer offers a reasonably thin, highly durable wearing course with a significant structural capacity.
PCC – Portland Cement Concrete. PCC is rigid and more durable than flexible asphalt pavement, and as such, is a pavement alternative for areas affected by heavy wheel loads from buses, garbage trucks and service vehicles. Potholes – bowl-shaped holes caused by water damage that may extend into the base.
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.
PCC Medical Abbreviation. PCC in Medical refers to Prothrombin Complex Concentrate, a medication used to reverse the effects of anticoagulants in patients with bleeding disorders. This concentrated product is crucial for managing conditions like severe bleeding and vitamin K deficiencies.
Construction Joints. Expansion, isolation and construction joints are created by formwork before the PCC is placed. Since these joints are designed to completely separate adjacent masses of PCC, they are usually made by inserting a small non-PCC piece of material such as a strip of wood.
