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.
The goal of mix transport is to delivery PCC to the paving job site that conforms to the specified mix design. Transport practices can affect such mix characteristics as (1) homogeneity, (2) workability , (3) water content and (4) air content.
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.
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.
PCC in Shipping commonly refers to Pure Car Carrier, a specialized vessel designed for transporting automobiles efficiently and safely across oceans. Explore categories such as Maritime and Transportation for more information. Share.
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.
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 eliminate undesirable ...
