Abstract:

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) contains continuous longitudinal reinforcement with no transverse ; expansion within the early life of the pavement and can continue to develop cracks in the long-term. The ; accurate modeling of CRCPs main features is of primary importance in a mechanistic-empirical pavement design ; procedure. Design tool such as CRCP-9 and CRCP-10 have the capability to analyze continuous pavements ; under traffic, environmental, and thermal loads and has the capability to predict crack spacing. CRCP-9 and 10 ; were developed using 2-D and 3-D finite element theory to calculate stresses in concrete and steel bars due to ; environmental loads. In order to develop a reliable model that better represents the behavior of CRCP, a clear ; understanding of the interaction between the concrete and steel is essential. Therefore, a parametric analysis was ; developed, using the 3-D finite element model of the CRCP computer programs in ABAQUS, to investigate the ; concrete stress distribution while varying the slab thickness.
