Rigid Pavement Design Deficiencies Major shortcomings of JPCP designs based on 1972-1986 versions of the AASHTO Guide : inadequate joint load transfer, long joint spacing, erosion of base/subbase, poor subdrainage etc. Deterioration occurs early Rehabilitation needed Development of Supplemental AASHTO Design Procedure for JPCP Serious deficiencies noted in 1986 AASHTO procedure Studies showed major flaws in base/subgrade support procedures No easy fixes Improved structural (3D finite element) model for JPCP was developed to correct deficiencies Development, Validation, Adoption: 1998 Supplemental Rigid Pavement Design Procedure Developed under NCHRP Project 1-30 (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) Validated under FHWA/LTPP research study (ERES Consultants/ARA) Adopted by AASHTO as Supplementary Rigid Pavement Design Procedure (1998) FHWA/LTPP - Supplementary Rigid Pavement Design Spreadsheet (ERES Consultants/ARA) Only JPCP For Now 1998 AASHTO JPCP Design Is Better Improved structural modeling Improved subgrade characterization Base course as structural layer Transverse joint spacing Climate at site is considered directly Shoulder type and slab width Joint faulting and cracking checks Use of LTPP Data to Verify1998 AASHTO Design Design procedure verified using field data from LTPP Inputs to 1998 AASHTO design model obtained Actual traffic log ESALs compared to predicted log W (ESALs) No significant bias found in predicting serviceability of pavements in four climatic zones PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES What is the Rigid Pavement Design (RPD) Software?
