STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF CONCRETE BLOCK PAVEMENTS

Since there are major limitations associated with current methods for designing concrete block pavements, a study was made to develop a more comprehensive design procedure. The analysis framework incorporated in the 1986 AASHTO design methodology was selected as the basis for this procedure. To extend its use to the CBP pavements, a strength model to characterize the concrete block pavers and bedding and layer was developed based on findings reported in the literature. The study developed multiple input options for the key pavement performance factors to allow for various levels of engineering analysis. A set of structural thickness design curves was also developed.
