Performance of Jointed Concrete Pavements. Volume 6. Appendix C. Synthesis of Concrete Pavement Design Methods and Analysis Models. Appendix D. Summary of Analysis Data for the Evaluation of Predictive Models

摘要

A major national field and anlaytical study has been conducted into the effect of various design features on the performance of jointed concrete pavements. Extensive design, construction, traffic, and performance data were obtained from numerous experimental and other concrete pavement sections throughout the country. Field data collected and analyzed included distress, drainage, roughness, present serviceability rating (PSR), deflections, destructive testing (coring and boring), and weigh-in-motion (WIM) on selected sites. The information was compiled into a comprehensive microcomputer database. Projects were evaluated on an individual basis and then compared at a national level to identify performance trends. The performance data was used to evaluate and modify several concrete pavement design procedures and analysis models. The volume provides a general evaluation of several concrete pavement design and analysis models. This includes RISC, ILLISLAB, JSLAB, H-51, WESLIQUID, WESLAYER, JSC-1, JCP-1, AASHTO, RPS-3, PCA, PMARP, PEARDARP, PREDICT, BERM, CMS, Liu-Lytton, JRCP-4, and California Rigid Design. Sensitivity analyses are included for each section. The volume also provides supporting documentation for Volume II.
