JOINTED PLAIN CEMENT
CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Most Popular Rigid pavement Option
Maintenance Costs increases with the
increase in the joint spacing
Maximum joint spacing should be 12.2m

CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED
CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Elimination of Joints Reduced
thickness
Thickness of CRCP Will Workout to be 70-
80% of the conventional pavement.
Cracks are held tightly by the reinforcement
Punch-outs are the major type of distress
Design equations for JRCP can be used for
CRCP

5/10/2014 6:59 AM BITS Pilani
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Concrete is weak in Tension, strong in
compression
Thickness is governed by modulus of rupture
which varies with the tensile strength of
concrete
Pre-application of compressive stress
reduces the tensile stresses caused by traffic
loads, decreases the thickness
Less probability of cracking and fewer
transverse joints, less maintenance and
longer life

5/10/2014 6:59 AM BITS Pilani
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Slab Length Varies from 90 to 232m
Slab Thickness 152mm (Maximum)
Post tension method is Frequently Adopted
More Frequently used for Airport Pavements,
Saving in Thickness
Thickness of Pre-stressed Highway Pavement
will be Sufficient Enough to Provide Cover for
the Pre-stressing Steel

Bottom of the Pavement

5/10/2014 6:59 AM BITS Pilani
IRC: 58 2002 DESIGN PROCEDURE
Stipulate design values for the various
parameters
Decide types and spacing between joints
Select a trial design thickness of
pavement slab
Compute the repetitions of axle loads of
different magnitudes during the design
period
5/10/2014 6:59 AM BITS Pilani
IRC: 58 2002 DESIGN PROCEDURE
Calculate the stresses due to single and
tandem axle loads and determine the
cumulative fatigue damage (CFD)
If the CFD is more than 1.0, select a higher
thickness and repeat the above steps
Compute the temperature stress at the
edge and if the sum of the temperature
stress and the flexural stress due to the
highest wheel load is greater than the
modulus of rupture, select higher
thickness and redesign
5/10/2014 6:59 AM BITS Pilani
IRC: 58 2002 DESIGN PROCEDURE
Design the thickness on the basis of
corner stress if no dowel is provided
and there is no load transfer due to lack
of aggregate interlocking
Design Dowel and Tie Bars if necessary
