Investigation of Longitudinal Cracking in Widened Concrete Pavements
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2020 Widened slabs, widely employed in many US states in concrete pavements, have suffered from unexpected longitudinal cracks. These cracks suddenly appeared within 0.60 m to 1.20 m from widened slab edges and could be detrimental to the long-term pavement ...
