Mesoscale analysis of continuously reinforced concrete pavement behavior subjected to environmental loading
Highlights CRCP behavior due to environmental loading was analyzed using a mesoscale model. Using a coarse aggregate with lower modulus can improve CRCP performance. Reducing the drying shrinkage of concrete can improve CRCP performance.
Abstract Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) behavior due to temperature and moisture variations was analyzed using a mesoscale model consisting of coarse aggregate, mortar, and an interface transition zone (ITZ). The effects of the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of the coarse aggregate and the strength at ITZ were evaluated. The results indicated that the coarse aggregate modulus and the drying shrinkage of the concrete had the most significant effect on the development of nonstructural distresses. Using a coarse aggregate with a lower modulus and reducing the drying shrinkage of concrete are thus expected to improve CRCP performance.
