Assessment of Concrete Pavement Blowups: A User Manual
The manual is based on the analyses of pavement blowups presented in 1984 and in 1989. It may be divided into three parts. The first part consists of sections 1 and 2. Section1 reviews briefly the various early attempts to clarify the blowup phenomenon. Section 2 describes the blowup mechanism, the adopted criterion of the 'safe temperature increase', and the outline of the analytical methodology on which the manual is based. For analytical details the interested reader is referred to the two papers referenced above. The second part consists of section 3. It contains the analytical expressions for the solutions of the three problems shown in figure 2, the description of the steps for the numerical evaluation as well as a list of the used pavement parameters, and the graphical presentation of the obtained results. Part three consists of sections 4 and 5. They contain a discussion of the practical implications of the presented results for concrete pavement design as well as for assessing pavement blowups after years of service, a presentation of a number of specific examples, and suggestions of full-scale tests for the determination of the identified pavement parameters.
