The goal of structural design is to determine the number, material composition and thickness of the different layers within a […]
Rigid pavements respond to loading in a variety of ways that affect performance (both initial and long-term). The three principal […]
Design a new rigid pavement for a major interstate highway using the following conditions (four lanes each direction): Design ESALs […]
Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP, see Figure 1) does not require any contraction joints. Transverse cracks are allowed to form […]
HMA pavements are flexible pavements. Flexible pavements are so named because the total pavement structure deflects, or flexes, under loading. […]
How a pavement responds to applied stresses is the combined result of loading, environment, subgrade and pavement material characteristics. This […]
Dowel bars are short steel bars that provide a mechanical connection between slabs without restricting horizontal joint movement. They increase […]
In fixed form paving, side forms are used to hold fresh PCC in place at the proper grade and alignment […]
Dowel bars can be placed either before PCC placement by using dowel baskets, or after PCC placement by using an […]
