Book excerpt: This report documents enhancements incorporated in the (HIgh PERformance PAVing) HIPERPAV II software. Enhancements made within this project include the addition of two major modules: a module to predict the performance of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) as affected by earlyage factors, and a module to predict the early-age behavior (first 72 hours) and early life (up to 1 year) of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). Two additional Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) studies were also incorporated: one that predicts dowel bearing stresses as a function of environmental loading during the early age, and a module for optimization of concrete paving mixes as a function of 3-day strength, 28-day strength, and cost. Additional functionality to the software was also incorporated by reviewing and prioritizing the feedback provided by users of the first generation of the software, HIPERPAV I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the interactions between the different design and construction variables and techniques this book illustrates best practices for constructing economical, long life concrete pavements. The book proceeds in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined. The desired performance and behaviour parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are outlined and the most suitable concrete proportions determined. The design can be completed, and then the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable facility are carried out. Although the focus reflects highways as the most common application, special features of airport, industrial, and light duty pavements are also addressed. Use is made of modeling and performance tools such as HIPERPAV and LTPP to illustrate behavior and performance, along with some case studies. As concrete pavements are more complex than they seem, and the costs of mistakes or of over-design can be high, this is a valuable book for engineers in both the public and private sectors.

This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance provides a solid foundation for pavement engineers seeking relevant and applicable design and construction instruction. It relies on general principles instead of specific ones, and incorporates illustrative case studies and prime design examples to highlight the material. It presents a thorough understanding of materials selection, mixture proportioning, design and detailing, drainage, construction techniques, and pavement performance. It also offers insight into the theoretical framework underlying commonly used design procedures as well as the limits of the applicability of the procedures. All chapters have been updated to reflect recent developments, including some alternative and emerging design technologies that improve sustainability. What’s New in the Second Edition: The second edition of this book contains a new chapter on sustainability, and coverage of mechanistic-empirical design and pervious concrete pavements. RCC pavements are now given a new chapter. The text also expands the industrial pavement design chapter. Outlines alternatives for concrete pavement solutions Identifies desired performance and behavior parameters Establishes appropriate materials and desired concrete proportions Presents steps for translating the design into a durable facility The book highlights significant innovations such as one is two-lift concrete pavements, precast concrete pavement systems, RCC pavement, interlocking concrete pavers, thin concrete pavement design, and pervious concrete. This text also addresses pavement management, maintenance, rehabilitation, and overlays.

Book excerpt: This document serves as the Reference Manual for the 1 1/2 -day FHWA workshop on concrete pavement preservation. The purpose of the document is to provide the most up-to-date information available on the design, construction, and selection of cost-effective concrete pavement preservation strategies. It concentrates primarily on strategies and methods that are applicable at the project level, and not at the network level, where pavement management activities function and address such issues as prioritizing and budgeting. Detailed information is presented on seven specific concrete pavement preservation treatments: slab stabilization, partial-depth repairs, full-depth repairs, retrofitted edge drains, load transfer restoration, diamond grinding, and joint resealing. In addition, information is provided on pavement evaluation techniques and strategy selection procedures.

Book excerpt: Pavements are omnipresent in our society. From roads and airports to parking lots and driveways, every civil engineering project requires applications of this complex subject. Pavement Engineering covers the entire range of pavement construction, from soil preparation to structural design and life-cycle costing and analysis. It links the concepts of mix and structural design, while also placing emphasis on pavement evaluation and rehabilitation techniques. State-of-the-art content introduces the latest concepts and techniques, including ground-penetrating radar and seismic testing. The text facilitates a general course for upper-level undergraduates, covering the selection of materials, mix and structural design, and construction. It also provides laboratory and field tests accompanied by a discussion of new and advanced concepts. This unique text prepares the next-generation of engineers with the core principles and application knowledge needed to maneuver in the ever-expanding pavement engineering industry.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research project is to identify, develop, and evaluate a simple, economical, and reliable calorimetry device and test method for monitoring heat evolution of pavement concrete. The project contains three phases: phase I - identifying user needs for calorimeter tests, phase II - identifying potential calorimeter devices and developing test procedures, and phase III - verifying the test procedures and the potential applications of calorimetry in field. In this report, the work done in phases I and II is briefly summarized and the study of phase III is presented. The phase III study includes three parts: (1) field calorimetry tests, (2) lab tests for the field materials, and (3) implementation of calorimetry into pavement performance prediction. The field tests were conducted at three selected sites: US 71 (Atlantic, Iowa), Highway 95 (Alma Center, Wisconsin), and US 63 bypass (Ottumwa, Iowa). A simple isothermal calorimetry and two semi-adiabatic calorimetry (AdiaCal and IQ drum) tests were conducted at these sites. The general concrete, such as slump, air content, unit weight, placement temperature, ASTM C403 set time, and pavement properties, such as subbase temperature and sawing time were also measured. In the lab tests of the field materials, nine robust mixes for each field site, with different variations in water reducer and/or fly ash dosages were developed. AdiaCal and isothermal calorimeter tests were performed for each of the robust mixes. IQ drum and ASTM C403 set time tests were conducted for selected mixes. To implement the calorimetry test results into concrete performance prediction, the HIgh PERformance PAVing (HIPERPAV) computer program was modified, the calculated hydration curve parameters from selected calorimetry tests were used as inputs for the modified HIPERPAV program, and the temperature developments of in-situ pavements were then predicted. The phase III test results confirmed the major findings drawn in the phase II study. The results indicate that both the AdiaCal and semi-adiabactic calorimetry tests can provide valuable information on concrete performance. AdiaCal calorimetry is particularly good for field concrete set time prediction, and it is sensitive to the sample temperature. Isothermal calorimetry can provide users more detailed information on cement hydration and provide more consistent test results. The thermal set times obtained from both the AdiaCal and isothermal calorimetry tests are closely related to those measured from the ASTM C403 tests. Using the calorimetry test curve as inputs for the HIPERPAV computer program, in-situ concrete pavement temperatures can be predicted adequately.
