Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements. Volume 6. CRC Pavement211 Design, Construction, and Performance

摘要

This report is one of a series of reports prepared as part of a recent study211u001esponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) aimed at updating the 211u001estate-of-the-art of the design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of 211u001econtinuous reinforced concrete (CRC) pavements. The scope of work of the FHWA 211u001estudy included the following: (1) Conduct of a literature review and preparation 211u001eof an annotated bibliography on CRC pavements and CRC overlays. (2) Conduct of a 211u001efield investigation and laboratory testing related to 23 existing in-service 211u001epavement sections. This was done to evaluate the effect of various design 211u001efeatures on CRC pavement performance, to identify any design or construction 211u001erelated problems, and to recommend procedures to improve CRC pavement technology. 211u001e(3) Evaluation of the effectiveness of various maintenance and rehabilitation 211u001estrategies for CRC pavements. (4) Preparation of a Summary Report on the current 211u001estate of the practice for CRC pavements. Each of the above four items is 211u001eaddressed in a separate report. The following reports have been prepared under 211u001ethis study: Performance of CRC Pavements. Volume I: Summary of Practice and 211u001eAnnotated Bibliography. Volume II: Field Investigation of CRC Pavements. Volume 211u001eIII: Analysis and Evaluation of Field Test Data. Volume IV: Resurfacing for CRC 211u001ePavements. Volume V: Maintenance and Repair of CRC Pavements. Volume VI: CRC 211u001ePavement Design, Construction, and Performance. Volume VII: Summary. This report 211u001eis Volume VI in the series.
