Abstract: Longitudinal cracking has been identified as the predominant distress in thin bonded whitetopping with a 1.83-m (6-ft) longitudinal joint spacing. However, the structural models in existing whitetopping design procedures ...

Abstract: Slab curvature, which represents the response of concrete pavement slabs to environmental loads, influences the location and magnitude of critical slab stresses and affects long-term pavement performance. The purpose of ...

Abstract: Curvature due to temperature curling and moisture warping has a large effect on the performance and assessment of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP). Accurate curvature prediction can improve the design and evaluation ...

Abstract: Superload (SL) vehicles have unique axle configurations and high axle weights, indicating the potential for a low number of SL applications to cause significant fatigue damage to a jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP). ...
