In conducting this investigation, detailed surveys on 85 pavement projects in 7 States were made. These pavements were generally under 15 years old, and reinforced and continuously reinforced pavements. The results of this investigation are contained in the report as prepared by PCA. Some of the aspects of Portland Cement Concrete pavements covered include: 1) Categories and characteristics of PCC pavements; 2) Pavement problems, their causes and required maintenance; 3) A pavement performance and condition survey; 4) A charted summary, design, and construction practices of the states (available separately on request); 5) Construction and maintenance costs, and 6) Design and construction recommendations.

This comprehensive design guide summarizes current developments in the design of concrete pavements. Following an overview of the theory involved, the authors detail optimum design techniques and best practice, with a focus on highway and infrastructure projects. Worked examples and calculations are provided to describe standard design methods, illustrated with numerous case studies. The author provides guidance on how to use each method on particular projects, with reference to UK, European and US standards and codes of practice. Concrete Pavement Design Guidance Notes is an essential handbook for civil engineers, consultants and contractors involved in the design and construction of concrete pavements, and will also be of interest to students of pavement design.

The performance of CRCP has revealed a number of failure modes that are traceable to design, construction, materials, and maintenance deficiencies and such other factors as environemntal conditions and traffic loadings. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes a review of the cumulative experiences of state that have constructed and maintained CRCP. Guidelines for repair techniques are included, and areas of needed research are identified.

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) was introduced in the United States almost 100 years ago when the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration) constructed a CRCP test section on Columbia Pike in Arlington, Virginia. Since then, CRCP has been constructed in many states in the U.S. and in a number of other countries. As experience with the design and construction of CRCP has grown, a variety of lessons learned through practical experience and research have contributed to the development of best practices for CRCP throughout its life cycle. Today, CRCP is designed and constructed as a pavement of choice for long-life performance, recognizing that initial smoothness will be maintained for decades and that maintenance during that time will be minimal. This manual provides guidance for materials selection and quality assurance, and for the mechanistic-empirical design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of CRCP. Case studies are summarized to document the overall long-life performance of CRCP in the U.S. and in other countries.

Paper 1: Experience gained from existing continuously reinforced concrete pavements is now adequate to suggest certain design principles. Paper 2: In the fall of 1956, the Pennsylvania Department of Highways constructed the first of two experimental continuously-reinforced concrete pavements. The first of these projects is on route 111, near York. In this project, measurements are being made of the strain in the bar-mat reinforcing steel in a uniform 9-in. pavement. Studies are also being conducted on the crack frequency, the crack width, and the slab temperature. A theory governing the behavior, the details of construction and instrumentation, and the results obtained during the first two months of the pavement's life are described.

The use of continuously reinforced concrete (CRC) pavement, as an alternative that eliminates the necessity for most crack control joints, has a proven record of good service performance extending back more than 30 years. CRC pavement is a portland cement concrete pavement with continuous longitudinal reinforcement achieved by lapping the reinforcing bars. The construction practices treated in this manual encompass activities that influence the performance of CRC pavement including subgrade, subbase, drainage construction practices, construction joints, terminal joints, ramps and shoulders, and other details.
