• Abstract:
  The work investigates the impact of curing methods and their impact on subsequent curling in both the laboratory and the field in different drying environments. Results are also presented for a field instrumentation of a CRCP pavement in Tulsa, Oklahoma that uses a number of different curing methods. Next, a sensitivity analysis is completed for typical Oklahoma jointed and continuously reinforced pavements with different base friction parameters. Then the results from Darwin-ME are compared with field performance of CRCP and JPC pavements in Oklahoma. Finally, the shrinkage and coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete pavement mixtures are investigated with different past contents.
