4. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com4  Road pavements are structures designed and built on existing grounds to facilitate smooth, safe, reliable, and convenient traffic flows. General Definition

5. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com5  Flexible Pavements  Rigid Pavements  Mixed Pavements Categories of Road Paving

6. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com6 Category II: Rigid Pavements

7. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com7  Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements  Considered as rigid structures since PCC’s high modulus of elasticity does not allow them to flex appreciably under the applied traffic loads. Categories of Road Paving Rigid Pavements

8. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com8  Extremely high volume traffic lanes  Freeway to freeway connections  Exit ramps with extremely heavy traffic Typical Applications of Rigid Pavements

9. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com9  High durability  Longer service life  Suitable for flooding areas  Withstands ground water changes Advantages of Rigid Pavements

10. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com10  May lose non-slip properties with time  Requires even sub-grade with uniform settling  May suffer ruptures at transverse joints Disadvantages of Rigid Pavements

36. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com36 Rigid Pavements Testing of Subgrade Properties  Characterized by strength and/or stiffness  California Bearing Ratio (CBR)  Measures shearing resistance  Typical values: 0 - 20 %  Resilient Modulus (M R )  Measures stress-strain relationship  Typical values: 3,000 - 40,000 psi (20 – 275 MPa)

37. Dr. Wa'el M. Albawwab albawwab@gmail.com37 GradeCBR M R (psi) Typical Description Good ≥ 10 20,000 Gravels, crushed stone and sandy soils. GW, GP, GM, SW, SP, SM soils are often in this category. Fair 5 – 9 10,000 Clayey gravel and clayey sand, fine silt soils. GM, GC, SM, SC soils are often in this category. Poor 3 – 5 5,000 Fine silty sands, clays, silts, organic soils. CL, CH, ML, MH, CM, OL, OH soils are often in this category. Testing of Subgrade Properties
