Abstract Details

2007, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Civil Engineering.
Previous studies have suggested that joint sealing practices may significantly enhance concrete pavement ride quality and structural performance. Presented herein is a performance report for the U.S. 50 Ohio High Performance Concrete Pavement (HPCP) Joint Sealant Experiment near Athens, Ohio. The experimental concept and data analysis for this project conforms to guidelines established in the on-going Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) sealing effectiveness initiative. The development of a performance inspection plan for consistent collection of data related to the effectiveness of various joint sealants installed at the test site is described. Evaluation activities performed between the Fall of 1999 and the Spring of 2000 are detailed. The performance of the concrete pavement system is also documented by tracking development of structural distresses, ride quality consistency and through mechanistic evaluation of several features affecting concrete pavement performance. Several recommendations for future investigations are formulated based on the evaluation and mechanistic results.
