Concrete Pavement Performance in the Southeastern United States
This report documents an in-depth study of the performance of concrete pavements in the southeastern United States. Information from the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database was investigated. Analysis of 36 sections in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and North and South Carolina showed that the majority of these pavements are providing excellent service well beyond their original design lives. Objectives of this study were: To investigate the performance of concrete pavement in the southeastern United States, as documented in the SHRP LTPP database; To compare performance to that predicted by the AASHTO 1993 design procedure to determine if these sections were meeting or exceeding expectations; To compare actual pavement thickness for each section to design thickness calculated using Portland Cement Association, AASHTO 1993 and AASHTO 1998 procedures to determine which procedure was most appropriate for design in this region; and To determine which design features lead to superior concrete pavement performance in this region.
