This book was released on 1963 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design investigations and limited testing of model and prototype slabs indicate that prestressed pavements permit a more efficient use of construction materials in terms of required pavement thickness. Prestressed pavements can be designed with fewer joints and with less probability of cracking than conventional rigid pavements, thereby promising extended pavement life and reduced maintenance requirements. Information relative to the design and construction of prestressed concrete pavements is presented. Recommendations are developed on planning, design, and areas of engineering investigation and research. Minimum tests are recommended for experimental highway pavements. Design variables are discussed with factors affecting design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general objective of this project was to monitor and evaluate the performance of prestressed (posttensioned) concrete pavement during the construction phase. The construction of this pavement was just south of Brookhaven, Miss. on U.S. Highway 84. Most of the 58 prestressed slabs were 450 feet in length and all were 24 feet wide and 6 inches thick. Located between the prestressed slabs were reinforced concrete gap slabs 8 feet in length and 7 inches thick. An expansion joint was set at each end of the slabs. This report describes the construction of the 2 1/2 miles of four lane prestressed pavement.

Book excerpt: A computerized procedure for the thickness design of "zero-maintenance" prestressed pavements is presented. Factors considered in developing the design procedure include traffic loading, temperature and moisture variations in concrete slab, loss of subbase support, properties of concrete, subbase and subgrade, and effective mid-slab prestress. The procedure is based on flexural stress analysis and prevention of bottom transverse cracking that may initiate from the longitudinal edge of the slab in the vicinity of midslab. Input for the computer program include axle load distribution, wheel placement, traffic distribution during the day, temperature data, load transfer effectiveness, and effective prestress at mid-slab. Program output is in terms of total fatigue consumption at the end of design life. If the fatigue consumption is less than 100 percent, then the thickness meets design criteria. A design example is presented for a rural four-lane highway in Illinois.

Book excerpt: Paper 1 reports the results of research initiated to determine a method of measuring bond failure, to evaluate the effect of repetitive vertical loads in producing progressive bond failure from crack to crack in continuously-reinforced concrete pavements, and to determine the magnitude and distribution of bond stresses in the vicinity of cracks. Paper 2: Reviews some of the wide variety of concrete pavement designs highway building agencies in Great Britain and the countries of Western Europe use. Paper 3: Recently a new concept in the handling of terminal movement of concrete pavements adjacent to structures has been introduced employing terminal anchorages. Experience to date with these terminal anchorage systems is reported, together with their design basis.

Book excerpt: This report presents four transverse joint designs for Prestressed Concrete Pavements. Designs I, II, and III are for an 8-in (203 mm) thick pavement with main slab lengths of 350 ft (107 m). A short prestressed gap slab and a single active joint is used between main slabs. Design IV is for a 7-in (178 mm) thick pavement with main slab lengths of 250 ft (76 m). A tied concrete shoulder is used. Gap slabs are 10 in (250 mm) thick and are conventionally reinforced. An active joint is provided at each end of the gap slab.
Download or read book Precast Concrete Raft Units written by J.W. Bull and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of precast concrete is a well-established construction technique for beams, floors, panels, piles, walls and other structural elements. The advan tages of precasting include excellent quality control, economical large scale production, improved construction productivity (especially in adverse weather conditions) and immediate structure availability. These advantages have been recognized for precast concrete raft pavement units (raft units) since their introduction in the 1930s. In the last ten years there has been a considerable increase in the use ofraft units, especially in their range of applications, their analysis and their design. However, the description of these developments has been published in academicjournals and conference proceedings which are not readily available to practising raft unit pavement design engineers. Pavement design engineers are underincreasingpressure to produce raft unit designs that are inexpensive, long lasting and able to allow reorganization to accommodate changing use and uncertainty offuture loading requirements. This is the first book devoted to raft unit pavements, and will become a standard work of reference.
