Because of widespread disagreement about the desirability of expansion joints in concrete pavements, the Public Roads Administration (PRA) decided early in 1940 to sponsor cooperative experimental research projects in Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, California and Missouri. Design of the seven experimental sections in each state is described. The primary purpose of the experiments is to study the spacing of expansion joints in pavements with closely spaced contraction joints.
This synthesis report will be of special interest to pavement engineers and pavement construction and maintenance personnel responsible for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement joints. Still pertinent information from NCHRP Synthesis 19 (1973), as well as new or updated information in the areas of joint design, construction, and maintenance are included. This report of the Transportation Research Board records the state of the practice with respect to the design, construction, and maintenance of PCC pavement joints. In addition, information on joint materials and sealing, the control of water on and in pavements, and the evaluation of pavement joint performance is provided.
This comprehensive design guide summarizes current developments in the design of concrete pavements. Following an overview of the theory involved, the authors detail optimum design techniques and best practice, with a focus on highway and infrastructure projects. Worked examples and calculations are provided to describe standard design methods, ill
