ANALYSIS OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN PROCEDURES

A procedure to design concrete pavements based on local conditions and performance of existing pavements is presented. The procedure is used to develop design equations to determine required concrete thickness or terminal condition of the pavement for a number of design inputs. These inputs include subgrade support, concrete modulus of rupture, stress-to-strength ratio, traffic, concrete thickness, and the condition of the pavement at the end of the design period. The procedure utilizes the pavement condition index (PCI) survey procedures and nondestructive deflection testing to develop design equations for local conditions. Existing pavements are surveyed and evaluated to provide information for use in developing a design equation for local conditions.
