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)
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.
JCMS software provides a standardized joint tool to manage initial (up to 6 months), temporary (up to two years), and semi-permanent (up to 10 years) contingency construction projects that comply with UFC 1-201-01 Non-Permanent DoD Facilities in Support of Military Operations. JCMS can be accessed either online or at a stand-alone
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.
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.
This report summarizes the work and findings from WA-RD 744. This work consisted of four separate efforts related to best practices for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement design and construction: (1) a review of past and current PCC pavement, (2) an analysis of PCC pavement studded tire wear on the WSDOT network, (3) a life cycle ...
The process to optimize a concrete pavement design is essentially a 5 step iterative process: Determine Basic Design Parameters (traffic, soil conditions, etc) and performance requirements / distress limits (cracking, faulting, roughness, etc.) that will be used to judge a pavement’s performance.
