PRELIMINARY REPORT ON CURRENT EXPERIMENT WITH CONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT IN NEW JERSEY

TWO SECTIONS OF CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT WERE CONSTRUCTED ON A LENGTH OF HIGHWAY WHICH CARRIES A CONSIDERABLE VOLUME OF HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. REFERENCE LINES WERE ESTABLISHED TO DETERMINE THE MAGNITUDE OF SUBSEQUENT LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENTS OF THE ENDS AND INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED SECTIONS, GAUGE POINTS WERE INSTALLED TO DETERMINE THE WIDTH OF CRACKS, CHANGES IN SECTION LENGTH, CHANGES IN WIDTHS OF ALL TRANSVERSE JOINTS, AND THE AMOUNT OF OPENING OF THE LONGITUDINAL JOINTS. /AUTHOR/
