Tie bars are typically placed after PCC placement either by hand or using a tie bar inserter attachment (slipform paving […]
PCC consists of three basic ingredients: aggregate, water and portland cement. According to the Portland Cement Association (PCA, 1988[1]): “The […]
At first glance, this equation looks quite complex – it is. Where: W = axle applications inverse of equivalency […]
Example Operation – Lafarge Seattle An example operation of cement production is taken from Lafarge Seattle. Below Figures 1 and […]
The Structural Number (SN) represents the overall structural requirement needed to sustain the design’s traffic loadings. It is an abstract […]
Location Typical joint locations are covered in the article on Joints, and are not repeated here. However, it is important […]
Expansion, isolation and construction joints are created by formwork before the PCC is placed. Since these joints are designed to […]
Joints are purposefully placed discontinuities in a rigid pavement surface course. All types of joints are used in rigid pavement […]
Jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP, see Figure 1) uses contraction joints and reinforcing steel to control cracking. Transverse joint spacing […]
