CURRENT DESIGN OF CONCRETE PAVEMENT IN NEW JERSEY

CONCRETE PAVEMENT DESIGN CURRENTLY EMPLOYED IN NEW JERSEY IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIGHWAYS THAT ARE TO CARRY HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC IS DESCRIBED. THE DESIGN FEATURES ARE: (1) PAVEMENT THICKNESS; (2) SLAB LENGTH AND WIDTH; (3) REINFORCING STEEL; (4) DOWELLING OF EXPANSION JOINTS; (5) DOWEL COATINGS; (6) JOINT FILLER; AND (7) SUB-BASE CONSTRUCTION. THE EFFECTS OF CORROSION ON DOWELS AND THE REASONS WHY THE DESIGN INCLUDES EXPANSION JOINTS ARE DISCUSSED. INCLUDED ARE: (1) TRAFFIC DATA; (2) THE RESULTS OF LOAD-TRANSFER TESTS ON VARIOUS SIZES, SHAPES AND LENGTHS OF DOWELS; AND (3) THE GENERAL BEHAVIOR OF CONTRACTION JOINT PAVEMENT. /AUTHOR/
