Title

  • Determination of coefficient of thermal expansion effects on Louisiana's PCC pavement design

Summary

  • With the development of the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) as a new pavement design tool, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is now considered a more important design parameter in estimating pavement performance including cracking, faulting, and international roughness index (IRI). This study was conducted to measure typical CTE values of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements having various aggregates used in Louisiana and to investigate the relationship between CTE and other critical variables such as aggregate types, age of concrete, dimension of specimen, amount of course aggregate in mixture, relative humidity, and concrete mechanical properties. AASHTO TP 60-00 was used for measuring concrete CTE and a recently new standard test method, AASHTO T 336-09, was adopted to replace the TP 60-00.
