MOVEMENT OF CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE ROADWAYS
THIS BULLETIN CONTAINS CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT PAVEMENT MOVEMENT AS DETERMINED BY AN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH PROJECT FOR THE MISSISSIPPI STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS. THE STUDY CONCERNED A 6.77 MILE SECTION OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY NO. 59, LOCATED NEAR LAUREL IN JONES COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI. THE STUDIES ON MOVEMENT EXTENDED FROM MARCH, 1962, UNTIL NOVEMBER, 1964. THE STUDY SHOWED THAT IN SPITE OF RATHER EXTENSIVE AND ANCHORAGE BY MONOLITHIC CONCRETE LUGS, MOVEMENT AT THE ENDS VARIED FROM 0.5 INCHES TO 1.25 INCHES. A BRIEF STUDY OF CHANGES OF MOVEMENT ACROSS ONE SECTION OF THE ROADWAY NEAR AN ANCHORAGE POINT SHOWED VARIATION OF MOVEMENT OF NEARLY 0.1 OF AN INCH AT DIFFERENT POINTS. THIS WAS UNDER A TEMPERATURE CHANGE OF ONLY 20 DEGREES F. THE MAXIMUM MOVEMENT APPEARED TO BE AT THE CENTER OF THE SLAB BETWEEN THE TWO TRAFFIC LANES. /AUTHOR/
