A core-ring strain gage (CRSG) test procedure has been devised for measuring the
residual stress in a concrete pavement. Initially cantilevered concrete beams were
selected for instrumentation to determine if beam stresses could be released and measured by drilling a core-ring. The known load induced stresses for a cantilever beam, before a core-ring is drilled, have a theoretical solut…
The current Federal Aviation Administration design procedures for airport concrete pavements do not directly consider top-down cracking. However, this distress has been repeatedly observed in full-scale tests conducted at FAA’s National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF) and AIRBUS in Europe. Generally, the maximum load stress related strain near the slab bottom is mostly higher than the …
