STUDY ON DESIGN METHOD OF COMPOSITE PAVEMENT WITH CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE BASE

Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...

Sensitivity analysis frameworks for mechanistic-empirical pavement design of continuously reinforced concrete pavements

The new AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) performance predictions for the anticipated climatic and traffic conditions depend on the values of the numerous input parameters that characterize the pavement materials, layers, design features, and condition. This paper proposes comprehensive local sensitivity analyses (LSA) and global sensitivity analyses (GSA) methodologies...

Design and Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Steel Fiber Reinforced Composite Jackets

In the present study, a new method for retrofitting reinforced concrete beam is introduced in which steel-concrete composite jackets containing steel fiber is used. For this purpose, 75% of the peripheral surface of reinforced concrete beams was initially reinforced using steel plates and bolts, and steel fiber reinforced concrete was used between the steel plates and the peripheral surfaces of...

Research on Deformation Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Composite Shear Wall with Concealed Bracings Based on Performamce

Article history: Received: 14.5.2014. Received in revised form: 20.1.2015. Accepted: 14.5.2015. In order to determine the deformation capacity of reinforced concrete composite shear wall with concealed bracings at different performance levels, some previous research of domestic scholars are reviewed by analyzing 89 shear wall specimens using a performance-based seismic design method. The perfor...
