This book was released on 2009 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precast prestressed concrete pavement (PPCP) is the product of an optimization of conventional materials coupled with economical fabrication and transportation means to create a product that exceeds the performance and implementation of current pavement rehabilitation methods. PPCP results in a more efficient, thinner section translating to material savings as well as improved long-term durability. Precast pavement allows faster replacement and rehabilitation of existing roadways as well as providing an economical alternative for new construction to minimize undesirable traffic congestion that causes increased fuel consumption and lost productivity. This project, near Sikeston, MO on Interstate 57, explored feasibility of current construction methods and service performance of precast roadway panels subjected to an adverse "Midwest environment" (extreme temperatures in summer accompanying deicing salts in winter). Evaluation of results from the investigation include: (a) construction challenges that may affect long term durability (b) local and global prestress distributions within PPCP (c) traffic loadings (d) daily thermal loadings (e) weekly and seasonal temperature variations and corresponding pavement behavior. Visual performance surveys over the one year long evaluation period are discussed.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date no streamlined user efficient concrete roadway rehabilitation method is in practice in the United States. However, the use precast pavement is being evaluated and successful projects in Georgetown, Texas, El Monte, California, and most recently Charleston, Missouri are paving the way for the use of prestressed precast concrete pavement. The use of prestressed precast concrete pavement for the replacement of damaged roadways gives contractors and designers significant advantage by decreasing construction time, improving pavement performance, and mitigating user cost. The project in Charleston, Missouri, funded by the FHWA and MoDOT, is the focus of this thesis. A total of 101 panels were cast and seven were instrumented to monitor temperature and strain. The objectives set forth were to understand important properties of the materials used, study losses due to creep and shrinkage of precast pavement panels, and develop pre and post-tension loss prediction models and compare them to actual values measured in the pavement. Concurrent works by Cody Dailey and Grant Luckenbill examine early age performance of the precast panels and analyze strains relating to daily thermal gradients, seasonal trends, and traffic.

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.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safety of civilians is of paramount importance during the construction and repair of concrete pavements. A complete understanding of the pavement distresses that compromise the structural stability and performance of rigid pavements are required for a proper selection of the repair method. Additionally, the time required to complete the repair process should be minimized to reduce the delay imposed on the users of the transportation facilities. The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in association with the Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency (AFCESA) developed a state of practice protocol for the repair of damaged runways using precast concrete slabs. The current study tends to extrapolate the previous research on this topic to civilian highway pavements. In the AFRL study, three installation techniques, widely used by the transportation industry, were incorporated in the experiment design. The original study did not consider the influence of temperature fluctuations, humidity and the stresses induced by environmental conditions for the performance evaluation of the precast slabs. This study tends to capture the influence of the climatic conditions on the orthogonal load bearing capacity of repaired sections.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic, weather and de-icing salts continually diminish pavement life. Current rehabilitation methods result in traffic congestion and lost work time. The use of prestressed, precast panels for the replacement of damaged roadways and intersections will give designers a significant advantage in improving pavement performance, decreasing construction time, and mitigating user costs. A pilot project, funded by FHWA, was created for a 1,000 ft (305 m) stretch of pavement on I-57 in southern Missouri. Seven of the 100 precast roadway panels used were instrumented to monitor temperatures, strains, and strand strains during fabrication, construction, and service. Objectives include examining early hydration temperatures and corresponding strains, comparing transfer strains (both pretensioning and post-tensioning) to analytical predictions, and analyzing service strains related to daily thermal variations, seasonal trends, and traffic. Condition surveys and materials studies complete the year long performance evaluation and are discussed in companion works by Brent Davis and Grant Luckenbill (currently underway).

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.
