IntroductionAdvantages and disadvantages of rigid pavementStresses of rigid pavement Design and construction of pavement jointsReinforcementDesign of rigid pavementDiscussion


Introduction

Rigid Pavements have been used for highways, airports, local roads, parking lots, industrial facilities,

and other types of infrastructure.When properly designed and built out of durable materials, concrete pavements can provide many decades of service with little or no maintenance.

Concrete generally has a higher initial cost than asphalt but lasts longer and has lower maintenance costs.


IntroductionRigid Pavement or

Cement Concrete Pavementcan be paved as reinforced or unreinforced slabs

with certain dimensions. Longitudinal and transverse joints separate the slabs from each

other .

Introduction


Rigid Pavement has specific advantageswhen compared with asphalt pavement: It lasts longer due to its rigidity and strength.

It consists of a system of stiff plates (slabs)connected together to form a continuous, hingedslab system.

The specific advantage of a rigid pavement isthat the relatively rigid plates apply load over awide area.

Advantages and disadvantages of rigid pavement




Because of its high skid resistance andbrightness, it is safer than asphalt pavement.Brightness provides the night drivers with bettersight and safety.

No rutting and no/ or slight deformation.

The binder (cement) isn't affected by temperature(unlike bitumen).



Rigid Pavements have specific disadvantageswhen compared with asphalt pavements:

Rigid Pavement has a higher initial cost thanasphalt, thus it has been used for airports, heavilyloaded highways, industrial facilities and otherspecial types of infrastructure.

The Joints between the slabs can be considered asa source for failures.

It is not preferable to be used in urban roads,because of maintenance difficulties of infrastructurefacilities.



Stresses of Rigid PavementThe concrete slab of the rigid pavement faces different types of stresses caused by repeated traffic load, temperature, moisture etc. which lead to: buckling, expansion, contraction and warping of the slab.Thus the designed slab must have high strength to resist all these effects. This means that the design Engineer should take into consideration in addition to traffic load and weather conditions: type of concrete, dimension of slabs, joints and their construction, the necessity of reinforcement and base type below.

frictional stresses if the length of

cement concrete slabs:

L= 5 m, 10 m, 20 m,

Solution

Compared with other stresses, the frictional stress is relatively low. It affects the edge and interior of the

slab. It is considered in winter tensile and in summer compressive stress.


Stresses of Rigid Pavement / CombinationDuring Summer: The critical combinations for interior and edge during mid day exists when the slab tends to warp downward.

At this moment tensile stresses develop at the bottom fibre which are additive to the tensile stresses due to the loading.

(total) = (Load) + (warping) - (friction).

During Winter: The critical combinations for interior and edge exists when the slab contracts and the slab warps downward

during the midnight. (total) = (Load) + (warping) +(friction).

Since the t during winter lower than in summer, the combination during summer is the worst in our country


Design and construction of pavement joints

Although the existing of joints in the rigid pavement can be considered sometimes as a

reason of distresses in the pavement, their construction in the rigid slab is very

necessary. Through joints, thermal stresses can be minimized. This means while the joints

carry stresses induced by expansion, contraction and warping of the slab, the slab resists all stresses caused by wheel loading.


Design and Construction of Pavement Joints

Joints can be divided according to their locations into two types:

Transverse Joints: are perpendicular to the centerline of the roadway (at right angle to the traffic direction) .

Longitudinal Joints: are parallel to the centerline (the same direction of traffic)


Design and construction of pavement joints

Joints can be divided according to their functions into three types:

- Expansion Joints- Contraction Joints- Construction Joints

Design and construction of pavement joints/ Contraction Joints


Design and construction of pavement joints/ Contraction Joints


Aggregate interlock joints are formed during construction by sawing

1/41/3 of the way through the pavement to create a plane of weakness. A

crack then propagates through the remaining thickness of the pavement as

the concrete contracts. This crack has a rough surface because it propagates

around the aggregates through the green cement paste, and as long as

it remains narrow the joint can transfer load from one slab to another

through bearing stress of the aggregate particles against each other across

the crack. Load transfer is compromised if the joint opens too widely or if

the aggregates wear away. The quality and erosion resistance of the material

supporting the slab at the joint also affect load transfer.
