Characterization of Concrete Pavement Joint Surfaces
In many concrete structures especially pavements, the ability to transfer shear load across crack/joint and the cracking resistance are important. This research was conducted in order to develop a testing method and roughness parameter that could better predict the shear load transfer across …

Mechanistic Analysis of in-Service Airfield Concrete Pavement Responses
The effect of temperature curling on pavement responses was analyzed. A theoretical analysis of the effect of pavement temperature distribution on total and load-induced responses is presented and complemented with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The analysis of in-situ interface condition was based …

Investigation of punchout distress of continuously reinforced concrete pavement
… presented. The study is based on a review of CRC pavement behavior under contraction restraint that encompassed several structural response models including two numerical models developed for CRC pavement structural response analysis. Each model was categorized according to different assumptions …

Hydrologic Mass Balance Of Pervious Concrete Pavement With Sandy Soils
Use of pervious concrete pavement as a method of stormwater management has shown great promise in previous studies. Reduction in runoff, water quality improvements, and long-term economic benefits are but a few of its many advantages. Regulatory agencies such as the St. Johns River Water Management …

Field investigation of subgrade non-uniformity effects on concrete pavement
The traditional method of designing concrete pavements is through the assignment of a single modulus of subgrade reaction (k-value) to the soil for the section under consideration. It is well known that soil under pavement is not a homogenous, elastic, and isotropic half-space but varies spatially …

Towards performance engineered specifications for high early strength concrete pavement repair applications
Repair materials for concrete applications constitute to this day a topic of great interest for state and local transportation agencies. Repair of concrete highways is necessary whenever there is a distress area that, if not properly addressed, would propagate, ending up reducing the service life …

Laboratory investigation of diamond grinding and grooving textures on concrete pavement surfaces
… to the hardness of the aggregates used in the concrete mixture. The lack of hard aggregates is prompting a surface texture rehabilitation every 2 to 3 years which is neither economical nor sustainable. In this context, the texture generated during diamond grinding operation is believed to be …

Development of Mechanistic-Empirical Principles for Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement Fatigue Design
In an attempt to better understand and predict concrete pavement behavior, the incorporation of material and climatic factors in mechanistic-empirical design methods is fast becoming a necessity. With the wide range of climatic regions in the United States, the inclusion of localized factors can …

Prediction of asphalt concrete pavement density from processing ground-penetrating radar compaction data
Achieving desired asphalt concrete (AC) density during compaction is essential to ensure flexible pavement performance. Approaches such as lab-testing of field cores, in-situ nuclear gauge measurements, and intelligent compaction prediction have shortcomings, such as limited area coverage, labor- …
