Cellular Rigid Pavement

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1996
A construction method for rigid pavement utilizing waste plastic for forms to create cells is analyzed for stress resulting from application of a standard highway equivalent single axle load (ESAL). The finite-element method is used. The analysis parametrically studied varying slab, base, subbase, and subgrade thickness and elastic properties and two ...

Nanoconcrete for Rigid Pavements

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
Abrasion resistance in concrete is related to the ability of the surface to resist being worn away by rubbing and friction. High-quality concrete is recognized as enhancing both abrasion and macrotexture durability under traffic loading. Pavement friction is the result of two primary frictional force components: adhesion and hysteresis.

Temperature Effects on Rigid Pavements

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1994
An analysis technique, to be used in conjunction with packaged finite‐element programs, is developed for the study of rigid pavements subjected to temperature loading. For illustrative purpose, the pavement is idealized as a thin isotropic plate resting on a Winkler‐type elastic foundation.

Sensor Installation in Rigid Pavement

Experimental Techniques, 1999
This unique approach for installing strain gages in PCC pavement sections in the Ohio SHRP Test Road was very successful. All sensors were installed during construction with no delays to the contractor, and all gages performed well in controlled vehicle tests which followed.

Breaking Load for Rigid Pavement

Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1970
A method of analysis has been suggested for the calculation of a breaking load for a rigid pavement taking the effect of centrally placed load and temperature independently and assuming a transverse yield line under the load to denote failure. The breaking load results predicted by the proposed method have been compared with those obtained from other ...

Comparative Analyses of Rigid Pavements

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1983
Stress conditions in concrete pavements were analyzed using the finite element method for slabs on liquid and elastic subgrades. The study consisted of the following parts: (1) The effect of the efficiency of load transfer across the joints; (2) the loading positions that produce the most critical stress and deflection conditions in the pavement; (3 ...
