Behavior of Experimental CRC Pavements in Illinois
Determining the relationships between pavement behavior and the design variables (pavement thickness, type of steel reinforcement and depth of steel reinforcement) was one main objective of a study Illinois started in 1960. The pavement behavior, expressed in terms of deflection, transverse cracking, distress, and riding quality was analyzed and correlated with the design variables. The data were collected from six experimental projects constructed throughout the State during 1963-66. The investigation also includes instruments and procedures used to expand the knowledge on stress levels and ranges in the steel and concrete of CRC pavement. In general, the performance of Illinois CRC pavements since opened to traffic (11 to 14 years of service) has been quite satisfactory. A few localized failures have developed and were found to be caused by construction deficiencies, poor subbase drainage, and a higher level of load applications.
