PRESTRESSED HIGHWAY PAVEMENT AT DULLES AIRPORT FOR TRANSPO 72

THE ADVANTAGES OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS ARE DUE TO THE ELIMINATION OF PAVEMENT JOINTS AND ATTENDANT PROBLEMS, AND TO COST SAVINGS DERIVED FROM REDUCED NEEDS FOR STEEL AND CONCRETE. A PROTOTYPE PAVEMENT, PLACED IN SIX LENGTHS THAT VARY FROM 400 TO 760 FEET, WILL PROVIDE USEFUL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DATA FOR FUTURE FULL-SCALE HIGHWAY AND AIRPORT PAVEMENTS. PAVEMENT DETAILS AND STRESSING PROCEDURES FOR THE ACCESS ROAD AT DULLES AIRPORT ARE DESCRIBED. AN OUTLINE OF CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES FOR A FULL-SCALE PROJECT IS GIVEN.
