摘要: |
In 1999 the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) funded a research project that required the design and construction of a new, improved PCP section in Texas. The work presented herein attempts to provide a design methodology and preliminary guidelines and specifications for a generic PCP. Additionally, the study implements the design procedure for a PCP to be constructed on IH 35 in Hillsboro, Texas. It is believed that this investigation will provide valuable information and a positive step towards the standardization of the PCP application. The results from the study show that PCP construction is very promising and provides long-term low-maintenance pavements at a competitive life-cycle cost. During the last few years there has been an increased use of this paving technology, and it is hoped that the outstanding performance of several previous projects and lessons learned from the not-so-successful projects will lead to new improvements to PCP methods of design and construction that will produce high-performance pavements. |
