Impact of PCC Pavement Structural Response on Rolling Resistance and Vehicle Fuel Economy
Reduction in vehicle fuel consumption is one of the main benefits considered in technical and economic evaluations of road improvements considering its significance. Surface roughness, texture, and structural response are the main pavement characteristics influencing rolling resistance. This project investigates the increase in vehicle energy consumption caused by the structural response of a c...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of Dowel in PCC Pavement of Roads using ABAQUS Finite Element Software
In Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement of the roads, dowels bar transfers vehicle loading to the unloaded slab. Load Transfer Efficiency (LTE) is used to evaluate dowel bars in PCC pavement. This parameter is defined as the vertical displacement ratio of the loaded slab versus the unloaded slab. In this study, the impact of effective factors (friction coefficient between dowel and concrete ...
متن کاملPerformance of Dowel Bar Retrofitted Concrete Pavement Under HVS Loading
The California Department of Transportation uses Dowel Bar Retrofit (DBR) as a rehabilitation strategy for concrete pavements. Two test sections were dowel bar retrofitted and a third section was designated for control on US 101 near Ukiah, California. All three sections were subjected to accelerated pavement testing using the Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS). The HVS results demonstrated a large ...
متن کاملFRP Dowels for Concrete Pavements
A Paper for the World Wise Conference 1999 Winnipeg, Manitoba © November 15, 1999 Introduction Joints are used in concrete pavements in order to control cracking due to thermal and environmental conditions. Dowels span joints to transfer load from one slab to an adjacent slab and to provide vertical and horizontal alignment. Currently, smooth epoxy coated steel dowels are placed across transver...
