224 THICKNESS DESIGN FOR HIGHWAY
AND STREET PAVEMENTS
‘The thickness design procedure of the Portlnd Cement
Association?" ig presented as appropriate for a wide
range of conditions with proper assessment of the design
variables.
224.1 Basis for Design
‘The thickness design method is based on knowledge from
‘the following sources:
1. Theoretical studies of pavement slab behavior by
HM, Westergaard719"292"'G, Pickett and G. K.
Ray 2222226 and others.
2. Model and fullscale tests such as the Arlington Test
conducted by the Bureau of Public Roads!?7* and
tests made at the PCA laboratories 221-20#,7296
3. Experimental pavements subjected to controlled test
traffic, such st the Bates Test Road,??*” the Pitts-
burg, Calif. Test Highway,2?#5 the Maryland Road
‘Test2? and the AASHO Road Test.27*62231
4, The performance of normally sonstracted pavements
subject to normal mixed trafic.
All these sources of knowledge are useful. However, the
knowledge gained from performance of normally con
structed pavements is the most important.
2242. Subgrade-Subbate Strength
The degree of subgrade or subgrade-subbase support is in
terms of k, Westergaard’s modulus of subgrade reaction.
‘The K-value is determined by in situ plate bearing tests with
@ 30-inediameter plate. Procedures are described in ASTM
Method D1196 and the Department of the Army (U.S.),
Technical Manuel TM-5-824-3 and are discussed in Ref.
2232,
If time and equipment are not available for plate-load
testing, k can be estimated by correlation to soil classifica-
tion oF laboratory strength test as shown in Fig. 22-1.
‘Tables 22-2 and 223 show the effect of subbase thickness
‘on the design f-value.
2243 Load Stresses
Bending of a concrete pavement under wheel loads pro
duces both compressive and tensile (or flexural) stresses.
‘Although compressive stresses are not critica, the ratio of
flexural stresses to flexural strength is high, often exceeding
values of 0.5. Asa result, slab thickness design is controlled
by Keeping flexural stresses due to traffic loads within safe
limits.
Tor strect and highway pavements with tho usual 12 ft
pavement lanes, the critical stress location is considered to
‘ye the transverse joint edge rather than at the outside pave~
ment corner or edge, This conclusion is based on studies of
truck placements?#9> across pavement lanes and an analy
fis of the effect of load position.?#342295 Accordingly,
the charts shown in Figs. 22-2 and 22-3 were developed
from influence charts*%* to be used for determining
stresses at this load position.
While load stresses are critical at the transverse joint edge,
shrinkage and temperature stresses are low at this location
and usually are aot additive to load stresses. For this rea-
son, load stresses only are considered. Conservatively, no
beneficial allowance is made for load transfer across the
joint.
2244 Flexural Strength of Concrete
Flexural strongth is determined by modulus of rupture
(MR) tests, usually made on 6X 6X 30-in, beams. The
modulus of rupture is determined by third-point loading
tests (ASTM C78). The 28-day M-R values are currently
used for thickness design of streets and highways. However,
thi practioe ie conservative, since concrete continues to
ain Strength for many years (sce Fig 22-14),
‘The following approximate relationship between flexural
and compressive strength is sometimes useful in preliminary
design stages; however, the final design should be based on
‘modulus of rupture test data:
MR=KVIE
where:
MR = flexural strength (modulus of rupture), psi
K =a constant between 8 and 10
£4 compressive strength, psi
2245 Fatigue
Like other construction materials, concrete is subject to the
effects of fatigue. Since the critical stresses in concrete are
flexural, fatigue due to flexural stress is used for thickness
design, Stross ratio is defined as the ratio of flexural stress
to modulus of rupture. For example, if an axle load causes
4 flexural stress of 500 psi and the modulus of rupture
7700 psi, then:
300
stress ratio = 289 = 0.71
700
Flexural fatigue research on concrete has shown that,
as stress ratios decrease, the number of repetitions to fail
lure increases, Allowable load repetitions for stress ratios
between 0.50 and 0.85 are shown in Table 22-4. The
values ate “conservatively based on fatimue research on
Concrete st962897
‘The design example in this section shows how Table 22-4
fatigue data are used for thickness design. ‘This usage is
based on the Miner hypothesis#© that fatigue resistance
not consumed by repetitions of one load is available for
repetitions of other loads.
‘Theoretically, the total fatigue used should not exceed
100%. For designs based on ths 28 day modulue of rupture,
fatigue consumption can be increased to about 125%. This
increase takes account of the strength gain after 28 days.
2246 Load Safety Factors
Research??*2229 shows that moving loads cause less stress
than static loads, Therefore, the formerly used concept of
‘assigning an impact factor tO increase the effect of loads is
‘morte accurately classified as a load safety factor. In the de-
sign procedure axle loads are multiplied by load safety fac-
tors of 1.0, Ll, or 1.2, depending on pavement class as,
follows:
1,0 for highways, residential streets, and other streets
that will carry small volumes of truck traffic
for highways and aslerial slots where there will be
moderate volumes of truck traffic

required shape factor will depend on the properties of the
sealant and the amount of joint movement; the latter in
turn ig related to the panel length or joint spacing and to
the maximum expected seasonal temperature change in

of the sealant reservoir for poured sealants frequently used
such as those meeting current federal and ASTM specifica-
tions. A silt, sell-adhering plastic strip is applied to the
bottom of the reservoir to break the bond between the
sealant and the bottom concrete surface.
Frequently, a butyl or polypropylene rope is placed in
the bottom of the sealant space to break bond and prevent
Joss of sealant into the crack below the joint filler. In this

joint width and width of seals are listed in Table 22-7. The
depth of saw cutissuch that the compression seal is installed

equipment, the scals are installed, without stretching, to
compressed width of about half of their uncompressed
wid,
‘Tables 22-6 and 22-7 are presented for general guidance.
Sealant manufacturers publish aids for selecting reservoir
dimension to suit their products. For residential city streets
land parking lots, with joint spacings of 15 ft or less, move-
‘ment at the joints is small, resulting in small sealant strains,
so that the joint widths shown above may be lessened with-
‘out serious consequence.
226 THICKNESS DESIGN FOR AIRPORT
PAVEMENTS
In determining the thickness of concrete pavements for
airports several major factors are considered: the types and
weights of aircraft, and their effect un fleaurel stiesses it
‘the slab; the flexural strength of the concrete; the sup-
porting strength of the subgrade (and subbase if one is
used); the type of facility being designed (taxiway, runway,
apron, hangar floor, etc.); and the frequency of aircraft op-
erations expected on the pavement.
‘Complete descriptions of the current design procedures of|
several agencies are given in Refs. 22-58 through 22-60 and
22-67; the methods and results are quite similar as pointed
out in Ref. 22-61. The procedure of the Portland Cement
Association is described in this section,
22.6.1 Load Strossos
Flexural stresses caused by aircraft loads are computed on
‘he assumption that the load is placed near the middle of a
large expanse of pavement. This can be assumed when
adequate load transfer is provided at all joints. Aircraft
wheel loads do not travel near the free outside edges of
pavements; if free edge butt joints are used in the interior
of a pavement expanse, the edge thickness is increased to
compensate for the lack of load transfer.
‘The flexural stress caused by a giveg aircraft load is de-
termined by the uco of influence oharte!™ or by computor
program. Aircraft manufacturers publish the required
data on Toads, wheel spacings, and tire contact areas that
are needed in the analysis. Design charts aro then prepared
for the specific aircraft that will use the pavement facility.
‘Charts for several aircraft are shown in Figs. 22-11 through.

For an economical system of load transfer, the dowel size
should be in correct proportion to the load for which the
pavement is designed. Since the pavement thickness is also
in proportion to the load, dowel design may be related to
pavement thickness.

based on studies of highway pavements and airport pave-
ment experience.

228.3 Design of Tiebars
Tiebare or tiebolts are deformed steel bars. They are used
across the joints of concrete pavement where itis necessary
To noid tne races of the slab In fm cortact, Tiebars Uy
themselves are not designed to act as load-transfer devices.
‘The load transfer across a joint in which they are used is,
provided by aggregate interlock or a keyway.
Tiebars are designed to overcome the resistance of the
subgrade (or subbsse) to horizontal slab movement when
the pavement is contracting. The required cross-sectional
area of tiebar per foot length of joint is given by the fol
lowing formula:

Recommended tiebar dimensions and spacings are given

tudinal joints, its worthwhile to standardize the length and
spacing of ticbars in order to simplify construction pro-
‘cedures and reduce overall pavement costs.

22.9 CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED PAVEMENTS:
A continuously reinforced concrete pavement contains a
relatively large amount of continuous steel, usually 0.6 to
7%, in the longitudinal direction, It ie built without tran
verse joints throughout its length except at the locations
where it intersects or abuts existing pavements or struc-
tures, Thus, there are no transverse joints to seal and main-
tain, In this type of pavement, transverse cracks develop at
close intervals (averaging between 3 and 7 ft) and are held
tightly together by the continuous, longitudinal steel.
The fundamental principles of design for this type of
‘pavement are: (1) to provide adequate paveraent UdoRstess
for traffic loads; and (2) to provide enough longitudinal
reinforcing steel that the transverse cracks are kept tightly
closed. Sources of information on the design of continu-
‘ously reinforced pavements are given in Refs, 22-73 through
22-76 and Ref. 22-40,
22.9.1 Pavement Thickness
‘Thickness design procedures for continuously reinforced
pavomonts are the same as those for jointed pavements de-
scribed in Sections 22.4 and 22.6.
1. Amount. ‘The amount of reinforcing steel required to
contiol volume changes is dependent primarily on the thick-
ness of the concrete, tensile strength of the concrete, and
yield strength of the reinforcement. Other factors’ that
influence the amount of steel are contraction due to tem
perature drop, shrinkage due to drying, and modulus of
clasticity of conerete and steel.
‘The controlling factor is the crack width. If insufficient
stool is weed, the crack widthe will be too wide, permitting
intrusion of solids and water. Crack-width criteria have not
been finmly established, but good performance has resulted
‘when crack spacings average between 3 and 7 ft. Since
crack spacing is directly related to creck width and is more
readily observed than crack width, the design has indirectly
become a matter of determining the amount of steel re
aquired to obtain desirable crack specings, Formulas relating.
‘the amount of longitudinal steel and theoretical crack spac-
ing have been proposed by several authors 22°7522-77
In general, however, the amount of steel is based on data
obtained from experimental pavements and pavements in
service. It is the usual practice to specify steel having a
‘minimum yield strength of 60,000 psi, and to require 0.6%

Of the gross cross-sectional area of the pavement. In severe
climates, where freezing and thawing occur or where un-
usually heavy traffic prevails, it may be desirable to give
consideration to the use of a somewhat higher percentage.
‘The following formula may be used to check the mink
mum amount of steel, 0.6% under normal conditions, or to
compute a minimum amount based on special concretes or
steels that might be selected:
teel area ratin, percent (total crose-sactional aren of
steel divided by gross cross-sectional area of concrete
‘times 100)
‘Fi tensile strength of concrete, psi (assumed to equal
0.4 times the modulus of rupture)
Jaq allowable working stress of steel, psi (0.75 times the
yield strength)

Having established the required percentage of longitudinal
steel, the steel area may be computed by the formula.

2, Size and Spacing. Size and spacing of longitudinal
steel members are interrelated and dependent on a number
of factors. The minimum size should be such that the spac-
ing between the bars will be large enough to permit easy
placement of concrete. The minimum size should be that
which will provide a clear space between bars of at least
twice the size of the aggregate being used, but in no case
less than 4 in.
‘The mnaximum size is governed by the percentage of steel,
the maximum spacing permitted, bond strength, and load
transfer considerations. For good Joad transfer ‘and bond
strength, it is believed that the spacing should not exceed
din.
Size and spacing are related by:

At the locations where longitudinal steel is spliced, itis
important that the lenoth of splice be adequate to resist the
tensile forces caused by shrinkage of the concrete at eatly
ages. Recommendations for the length of lap splices are
given in Refs. 22-73 through 22-75.
3. Position of Longitudinal Steel. Since the primary
function of reinforcement in continuously reinforced pave-
ments is to hold transverse cracks tightly closed, its design
position vertically in the slab is not extremely critical Prac-
Hee has varied somewhat ia thie respect; pavements have
‘been built with the center of the longitudinal steel ranging
