Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement in Texas

H. J. Treybig

The report summarizes the information that has been gathered by the State researchers to explain the performance characteristics of continuously reinforced concrete pavements. Seven previous reports on the project present greater details about the variables studied. Various phases have included laboratory experiments, field experiments with specially constructed and instrumented sections, and observations of numerous pavements in service. Independent variables included climate, subbases, subgrades, thicknesses, steel patterns, and concrete. The observed dependent variables - steel strain, deflection, crack pattern, pumping, and traffic - were used to explain performance. Empirical equations are derived and can be used for designing thickness and steel but are of limited application. Numerous conclusions are presented in terms of the effects of the independent variables on each of the five dependent variables. (BPR abstract)
