First Experiences with Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) in Canada

Conf-paper-iscr

Since the early 1990s, the design of every type of pavement has been impacted by a major turnaround in Québec Transport Ministry (MTQ) standards. The main focus of this turnaround has been the structural design and the frost protection of every type of pavement, taking into account local climate and...

CRCP a Cost-Effective Long-Life Pavement Solution for Highways & Expressways

Conf-paper-iscr

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement, CRCP is a concrete pavement that is reinforced with steel bars in the direction of traffic. CRCP is a durable pavement solution, advancement to plain concrete pavement. Reinforcement is used in CRCP, to tackle the problem of concrete slab cracking, instead of joints used in conventional...

Air Purification and Self-Cleaning Materials Photocatalytic Pavement Blocks on the Leien of Antwerp

Conf-paper-iscr

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a rapidly developing field in environmental engineering. It has a great potential to cope with the increasing pollution by traffic. The addition of a photocatalyst to ordinary building materials such as concrete, creates environmental friendly materials by which air pollution or pollution of the surface itself can...

The Use of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlays in Motorway Maintenance (A Case Study)

Conf-paper-iscr

How do you undertake the repair of a jointed concrete carriageway on one of the busiest motorways in Europe, particularly when a large proportion of the joints have failed and the slabs are floating on a sea of Gault Clay. With differential settlements so severe that there was genuine concern...

Continuous Pavement with Three-Dimensional Joints JRI

Conf-paper-iscr

From the point of view of construction performances concrete qualities are well known, durability, high elasticity modulus and workability, for instance, stand for them among many others. But it is also well known that unfortunately, not all of its properties are on the positive side. Cracking, by a variety of...

CRCP A Long-Lasting Pavement Solution For Todays Motorways, the Dutch Practice

Conf-paper-iscr

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) structures are becoming more popular for high quality transport purposes and long lasting pavement solutions in The Netherlands. This increase raised the demand for practical guidelines, recommendations and standardisation with respect to design, construction details, the preparation of tender documents and construction. Up to now...

Feasibility of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Construction in Turkey

Conf-paper-iscr

Continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCPs), when proper design and construction guidelines are followed, may allow more than thirty million equivalent single axle load application as observed at existing CRCP sections in the United States of America. Otherwise, the CRCP may prematurely fail and require costly maintenance earlier than anticipated. In...
