Highway and Transportation Officials Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, Interim Edition: A Manual of Practice, commonly known as the MEPDG, can be used to estimate the influence of several fundamental engineering material parameters on the long-term performance of a pavement.
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.
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.
Through consistent review and revalidation of construction designs and data, the AFCS program reported it has decreased the average facility cost from $472,9083 to $390,323 (17.5% decrease) and average man-hours per facility from 6,272 to 3,368 (46.3% decrease).
Construction Joints, sometimes called “headers” are usually made to separate successive construction activities; they do not serve any design purpose. However, with proper planning, construction joints can often be made to coincide with other planned joints, such as a transverse contraction joint.
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.
1 lis 2020 · Pavement asset management system (PAMS) assists agencies and decision makers to maintain deteriorating pavement assets with optimized budget allocation. The recent developments in pavement condition data collection and processing have significant effect on estimating remaining service life and selecting optimum maintenance strategies.
