A controlled environment study of perpetual pavement was conducted at the Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment’s Accelerated Pavement Load Facility (APLF). The surface layer of each section consisted of one of the Warm Mix Asphalts (WMA), Aspha-min, Sasobit, and Evotherm, or a hot-mix control. The test sections were divided into northern and southern halves, with the…
Two Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) slabs, one dowelled and one undowelled, were placed and instrumented in the Accelerated Pavement Load Test Facility in Lancaster, Ohio. The objectives of the study were to determine the forces generated in steel dowel bars and in the surrounding concrete resulting from PCC slab deformations during curing, thermal cycling, and moving wheel loads; monitor PCC sl…
