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.
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.
Plain cement concrete (PCC) is a fundamental component of building construction, serving to prevent direct contact between reinforcement concrete and soil or water. This article delves into the intricacies of laying PCC, offering insights into the materials used, the procedure, dos and don'ts, and the advantages it brings to construction projects.
Initial and temporary troop constructible designs at your fingertips! What is JCMS and Why Should You Care? In 1951, Headquarters of the Army tasked the Office of the Chief of Engineers to develop a system to facilitate contingency construction planning and serve as a guide to field units.
PCC Paving Procedures. The general rigid pavement construction procedure involves placement, consolidation, finishing, curing and jointing in rapid succession. “ Placement ” involves any equipment or procedures used to place the delivered PCC on the desired surface at the desired thickness; “ consolidation ” involves any means used to ...
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.
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.
