Proposed Mechanistic Based Design Procedure for Jointed Concrete Pavements

D. G. Zollinger / E. J. Barenberg

Proposed mechanistic based design procedure for jointed concrete pavements was developed. Design is based on the prevention of transverse cracks, which is the predominant type of structural failure in jointed concrete pavements. A fatigue-based criteria was developed to take into account the strength of the concrete, number of applied ESALs, joint spacing, subgrade support, temperature gradients through the slab, shoulder type and subbase thickness and material type. Dowelled transverse joints can be at intervals between 15 and 45 feet. If dowelled joints are spaced greater than 20 foot intervals, intermediate hinge joints are assumed for the design. Shoulder types can be either bituminous surfaced, concrete (tied or untied) or extended lane pavements with bituminous or concrete outside the extended lane. Computerized design procedures for use with PC computers were developed as well as design nomographs.
