Mechanistic Design for Thin-Bonded Concrete Overlay Pavements
The report is concerned with the design of concrete overlays of old concrete pavements with some remaining fatigue life considering three criteria: (1) wheel load stresses; (2) volume change stresses; (3) interface bond stresses. The finite element method is used for the wheel load stresses and accounts for a more precise modeling of continuously reinforced concrete pavements, jointed reinforced concrete pavements, and jointed concrete pavements with various loading configurations: at edge, at joint, and at cracks. A computer program is presented which performs the required structural analysis using ANSI standard Fortran 77 language and is fully compatible with CDC 170/75 and IBM 3081 hardwares. The structural design has been verified and calibrated using field data from a recently completed thin-bonded concrete overlay (TBCO) experimental project on South IH-610 in Houston. Final design and construction recommendations are made. The design method developed in the study should assist the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation.
