摘要: | This Technical Digest has been prepared to concisely present current recommendations and guidelines on design and construction details for concrete pavements. Emphasis is given to jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP), although a separate chapter on special design considerations for jointed reinforced concrete pavements (JRCP) and continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP) is provided. This document is intended for use by design and construction engineers to assist in the development and construction of better performing, longer-lasting concrete pavements. Key topics covered include: • Concrete pavement type selection. • Subgrade preparation and characterization. • Drainage design. • Base and subbase considerations. • Thickness design. • Joint design. • Shoulder considerations. • Construction considerations. • Special design considerations for reinforced concrete pavements. The recommendations and guidelines presented herein are based on recent research reports and concrete pavement performance studies. A detailed Annotated Bibliography of applicable documents from the last 10 years is included as an appendix. |
