Proceedings of the Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Workshop


Book Description

This report contains all of the papers presented at a workshop on Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP) which was held in New Orleans, Louisiana. The information presented at the workshop covered all aspects of CRCP including design, construction, and maintenance procedures. The primary emphasis was concentrated on maintenance procedures. The proceedings include papers on polymer patching, under sealing, and flexible and rigid overlays.

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement


Book Description

Paper 1: Experience gained from existing continuously reinforced concrete pavements is now adequate to suggest certain design principles. Paper 2: In the fall of 1956, the Pennsylvania Department of Highways constructed the first of two experimental continuously-reinforced concrete pavements. The first of these projects is on route 111, near York. In this project, measurements are being made of the strain in the bar-mat reinforcing steel in a uniform 9-in. pavement. Studies are also being conducted on the crack frequency, the crack width, and the slab temperature. A theory governing the behavior, the details of construction and instrumentation, and the results obtained during the first two months of the pavement's life are described.
