Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement. The State of the Art.

Abstract

The report presents the state of the art of continuously reinforced concrete (CRC) pavement and the feasibility and desirability of constructing this type of pavement on USAF air bases. It is the result of a thorough review of the literature, field investigations of highway and airport CRC pavements, and discussions with the foremost experts in the field. It includes a discussion of the characteristics and performance of CRC pavements and current design procedures. It concludes that the Air Force should begin constructing new and overlay airfield pavements with CRC, but also that additional research is required to improve design criteria. (Author)
