The Mechanics of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements : Technical Paper

open access: yes, 1958
This investigation is primarily concerned with the deflect and the resulting stresses in a continuously reinforced concrete pavement, loaded simultaneously with longitudinal and transverse loads. The theory developed for the computation of the deflections is based on the common assumptions used in the theory of continuous beams on elastic foundations ...

Analysis of Several Design Issues for Unbonded Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlays Based on Current Specifications

open access: yes工程科学与技术
旧水泥路面板上分离式加铺连续配筋水泥混凝土(CRC)层是一种旧水泥路面延寿加铺形式,但在现行规范中相关结构设计方法存在一定不足。基于加铺结构的特点建立ABAQUS三维有限元模型,开展加铺结构温度及荷载应力响应分析,探讨现行设计方法在力学模型处理、应力分析及极限状态校核等方面的适用性与局限性,提出相应的解决方法与思路。结果表明:计算CRC板荷载应力时将半刚性基层与旧水泥板复合,计算旧水泥板荷载应力时将半刚性基层并入地基的形式最好,推荐隔离层厚度取5~6 cm,对应刚度系数450 MPa/m ...
