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.
performance of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement that incorporates in-pavement lighting. Topics presented in this Guide include: • Installation issues. • Coordination between disciplines. • Survey needs and tolerance requirements. • Installing in-pavement lights with new PCC pavement construction. • Installing in-pavement lights ...
HMA/PCC composite pavements also are constructed routinely by many highway agencies when widening existing PCC pavements or existing overlaid HMA/PCC pavements. Appendix A provides a review of the history and background of HMA/PCC composite pavements.
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.
Nam: PM= preventive maintenance; PCC = portland cement concrete. MOULTHROP AND HICKS. 5. Preservation Treatments. A number of preservation techniques for both flexible and rigid pavements are used worldwide.
There are many factors that contribute to the roughness of a pavement surface. The most common cause of roughness is pavement distress; common portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement distresses that contribute to roughness include joint faulting, spalling, deteriorated transverse cracks, and punchouts.
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.
