Abstract The project presents the approximate method to specify temperature changes which may cause and intensify the pavement slabs destruction. Criteria of thermal concrete resistance in case of pavement structure were specified. Defining the acoustics performance, the degree of changes occurred in surface layer and changes in basic mechanical parameters as criteria of pavement thermal condition were suggested. The process of cement concrete damage in case of pavement structure, as a result of combined temperature changes and vehicle traffic was also discussed. Criteria of fragile damage of concrete slab and allowable stress of concrete layer in case of pavement structure were described. Types of heat flow within the pavement were discussed and associated with the occurred damages. The destruction process of concrete pavements under the influence of temperature was presented. The publication contains the proposal of reducing the effects of the aforementioned factors on the range of the occurred stress. The analysis does not include the complex issue of thermal stress within concrete pavement, caused by hot exhaust gas stream.

Falling Weight

Nonlinear explicit three-dimensional finite element (3-D FE) modeling is used to investigate the performance of the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) test in the evaluation of layer moduli of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP) subjected to nonlinear thermal gradient through the slab thickness. Concrete slab separation from the base, in-plane friction at the concrete-base interface, the gravitational forces, and the interface characteristics between dowel bars and surrounding concrete are all represented in the 3-D FE model. Experimental verification of the model is obtained through comparison of the 3-D FE generated response to ( a) the FWD measured deflection basin and ( b) the measured response of an instrumented rigid pavement section located in Ohio to a loaded truck moving at 21.8 m/s (48 mph). Several cases of linear and nonlinear thermal gradients are applied to the model, and deflection basins are obtained. Two backcalculation programs, MODULUS 5.0 and EVERCALC 4.0, are used for prediction of the layer moduli in each case, and the values are compared. The results indicate that thermal curling of the slab due to negative thermal gradient has little effect on the accuracy of backcalculated moduli. Warping of the slab due to positive thermal gradient greatly influences the measured FWD deflection basin and leads to significant errors in the backcalculated moduli. These errors may be minimized if the time an FWD test is conducted falls between the late afternoon and midmorning (from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. during summer in West Virginia).

Cement Concrete Pavement

Cement concrete pavements were used in most airports built early in China. Nowadays the main task of airports is how to cover and reinforce damaged pavements. To ensure the life-span of pavement after covering, on the basis of analyzing the treatment methods of original cement concrete pavement, cement and asphalt concrete were used to realize the covering and reinforcement of old cement concrete pavement, and key technologies of Preventing reflective cracks of concrete pavement were put forward, which had a good result in practice

Surface Irregularities

Road pavement roughness, in terms of skid resistance, can be described from a geometrical point of view as a texture or from a physical point of view as friction between a tire and a road surface. The paper deals with the comparison of asphalt and concrete pavement surface on selected newly built sections of the D1 motorway near the Ovčiarsko tunnel. Texture measurements were performed with a Static Road Scanner (SRS) capable of recording surface irregularities up to the microtexture level (2.49 µm resolution). A pendulum was used to determine the friction. Subsequently, the texture was evaluated using individual amplitude and wavelength characteristics and the friction was evaluated using the PTV parameter. Finally, correlations were searched between the roughness characteristics of asphalt concrete and cement concrete pavements, but also between texture and friction characteristics.

Noise Characteristics

To establish evaluation criteria for the pavement skid resistance and noise level in tunnels pavements, the zoning and control standards for skid resistance and concrete pavement noise were examined. Transverse friction coefficient (TFC) test equipment and the on-board sound intensity (OBSI) method were used to evaluate the antisliding characteristics and noise levels of several tunnel pavements. The results indicated poor antisliding characteristics and noise levels in ordinary grooved cement concrete pavement, whereas new types of cement concrete pavements, such as exposed concrete pavements and polymer-modified cement concrete pavements, had good antisliding characteristics and achieved low noise levels. Combined with the cluster analysis method, a zoning method for the antisliding and noise level in concrete pavement is proposed. The antisliding characteristics and noise levels of the pavement are divided into three zones. To ensure safety and comfort during driving, the antisliding value (SFC) of the tunnel pavement should be more than 50, and the noise level should not exceed 105 dB. Finally, the correlation between the antisliding and noise levels for pavement was analyzed. The results indicated that the antiskiding value of pavement has a strong correlation to the noise level.
