A Design Method of Composite Pavement with Asphalt Surface Course and Continuously Reinforced Concrete Base Course

Conf-paper-iscr

This paper describes a structural design method developed for composite pavement which is composed of an asphalt surface course (ASC) and a continuously reinforced concrete base course (CRCB). The design method is based on the fatigue analysis of CRCB. In the analysis, loading and thermal stresses in (2RU13 are calculated...

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements – from a Classical Conception to An Innovative Structure

Conf-paper-iscr

Continuously Reinforced Concrete (CRC), invented in the United-States in 1921, has been developing in France since 1983, in the following contexts: - New constructions (50 km of motorway) The structures chosen are alternately: • CRC + lean concrete • CRC + bituminous concrete + stabilized capping layer - Strengthening of...

Resurfacing the A6a Motorway Using Continuous Reinforced Concrete – August 1994

Conf-paper-iscr

The section of the A6a motorway between Porte d'Orléans in Paris and the Wissous interchange (10 km to the sniith) wRr npened in April 1960 For 34 years, the carriageways of this motorway, which have had to stand "double TO" traffic (4000 heavy loads a day), and which consist of...

Advancements in Continuous Concrete Plants

Conf-paper-iscr

Since 1975, the year in which the first continuous concrete plant was introduced for a road construction project, the use of a continuous production process has become more widespread, and even generalized, in France. Applications in other European countries have started to appear, yet do remain in the nascent stages....

An Applied Research Programme on Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

Continuous reinforced concrete (CRC) pavements built in France since this technique was first used in 1983 have pratically all been designed in the same way as pavements consisting of dowelled slabs. Owing to the circular form of the test tracks at fatigue facility of the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et...

A CRCP Inlay for the Rehabilitation of a Deteriorated Concrete Pavement on a Motorway with Very Heavy Traffic

Conf-paper-iscr

Short description of the rehabilitation works on the most heavily trafficked motorway in Belgium.

Positive Results Obtained from CRCP Projects in France (1988-1991)

Conf-paper-iscr

C.R.C.P. Technology has been selected by SAPRR in France foz its overlay programme on the heavy traffic Highway A6 Paris/Lyon. This programme started in 1983 with deformed bars Fe E500 with a steellconcrete section ratio 0,67%. Considering the logistic and safety problems on

Continuously Reinforced Semi-Rigid Pavements – Experiment and Development

Conf-paper-iscr

The continuously-reinforced semi-rigid structure consists basically of a thick structural layer placed directly on the foundation when it is made of untreated, permeable materials, or on a draining layer of geotextile when it is treated. This layer is made of concrete having a low cement content and cracking is rnntrnlled...

Continuously Reinforced Concrete for the Diamond-Shaped Toll Square and the Pavement of the Licfkcnshocktunnol in Antwerp (Belgium)

Conf-paper-iscr

For the construction of the LIEFKENSHOEK-toll tunnel under the river Scheldt, the Flemish Road Administration has once again chosen CRCP, 20 cm thick, as the best solution for the pavement inand outside the tunnel. By also choosing CRCP for the 30.000 m 2 diamond shaped toll-square, it was possible to...

Cracking and Corrosion in Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

As a number of CRC sections were gradually reaching a respectable age, the CRIC undertook an investigation in 1990 on possible corrosion of reinforcements. The close average spacing ot cracks (40 to 60 cm) in sections with 0.85% of steel and a bituminous base course was surprising. On the other...

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Road Bases

Conf-paper-iscr

In the Netherlands Rijkswaterstaat is the authority in charge among others of the construction of highways. The department Limburg of Rijkswaterstaat has chosen a continuously reinforced concrete roadbase for the construction of the 12 km long new highway section between the cities of Venray and Boxmeer. This choice was based...

Investigation on Thermal Stress and Prestress of a 151 m Prestressed Concrete Pavement

Conf-paper-iscr

Few prestressed concrete pavements of more than 100 m length have been constructed in order to avoid the development of cracking at early ages as well as to get design prestress. It the prestressed concrete slab is paved as long as possible, the construction period is shorter and the cost...
