Evaluation of Long-Life Concrete Pavement Practices for Use in Florida, Summary
In this project, University of Florida researchers studied designs and construction practices for long-life concrete pavements suitable for Florida. The researchers divided their work into four parts: simulating long-life pavement designs; evaluating drainage issues; evaluating performance-related factors; and examining life-cycle costs of concrete pavements in Florida. Models based on the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) were used to evaluate the effects of various design factors on pavement performance. Researchers also conducted a literature review of current long-life pavement practices in other states and countries.
