Performance Evaluation of Precast Prestressed Concrete Pavement

This report describes in detail an experimental investigation of an innovative precast prestressed concrete pavement (PPCP) system used to rehabilitate a 1,000 ft section of interstate highway located on the northbound lanes of I-57 near Charleston, Missouri. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of the PPCP subjected to severe weather and traffic conditions and develop performance data useful for future projects. The primary difference in this Federal Highway Administration-Missouri Department of Transportation (FHWA-MoDOT) project compared to other recently completed FHWA projects in Texas and California using the same technology was the incorporation of instrumented pavement panels to quantify pavement performance.
