IJ Track 6:
Innovative Concrete Pavement Joint Design, Materials, and Construction
Track Goal: This track will identify, develop, and test new and innovative joint concepts for concrete pavements that are more cost effective, reliable, and durable than current alternatives.
Current projects
- Publication: Assessment of Retrofit Dowel Benefits in Cracked Portland Cement Concrete Pavements
- Field Evaluation of Elliptical Fiber Reinforced Polymer Dowel Performance
- Evaluation of Transverse Joint Forming Methods in PCC Pavement
- Rehabilitation Procedures for Longitudinal Cracks and Joint Separation in Concrete Pavement
- Experimental Mechanics of Crack Width in Full-scale Sections of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements
- Laboratory Study of Structural Behavior of Alternative Dowel Bars
- Synthesis of Dowel Bar Research
- Publication: Evaluation of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) with FRP Dowels
