Effects of Prestress Level and Bond on the Behavior of Prestressed Concrete Pavements
Abstract
dc:descriptionPrestressing has long been recognized as a viable method of increasing the flexural capacity of concrete. The early application of prestressed concrete pavements was in the mid 1940's but its progress was slow compared with the other types of rigid pavements. Performance of the early build prestressed concrete pavements and advancements in construction technology as well as the ever increasing traffic loads have renewed interest in this type of construction.
