PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE HIGHWAY PAVEMENT DESIGN: STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW

This paper reviews the design and serviceability of various types of concrete pavements reported in the US literature. Concrete pavement distress and rehabilitation methods are also discussed. The review indicates that current research on portland cement concrete pavements is concerned with the development of mathematical models and computer programs for the mechanistic design of rigid pavements, overlays, and pavement management systems. Topics such as joint failures, load transfer, subbases, shoulders and drainage are also receiving considerable attention. (TRRL)
