MARYLAND CONTINUOUSLY-REINFORCED CONCRETE TEST PAVEMENT

THE MARYLAND CONTINUOUSLY-REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT PROJECT IS PART OF A REGIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THIS TYPE OF PAVEMENT. THE PAVEMENT AND SUBBASE THICKNESSES ARE CONSTANT WHILE THE STEEL PERCENTAGE AND BAR SIZE ARE VARIED. THE PROJECT LOCATION, MATERIALS, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION, THE APPLIED TRAFFIC AND EXPOSURE, AND OBSERVATIONS AND TEST RESULTS DURING THE EARLY LIFE OF THE PAVEMENTS ARE DESCRIBED. OBSERVATIONS OF STRAINS AND TEMPERATURES DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THE FIRST YEAR FOLLOWING, AND RESULTING CRACK WIDTHS, CORRELATED WITH STRAIN AND TEMPERATURE, ARE ALSO PRESENTED. /AUTHOR/
