Parametric Study of The Parameters Affecting Concrete Pavement Thickness

Abstract

Concrete pavements are the superstructure elements that can serve for a long time without

deterioration. Concrete pavements are using intensively for interstate highways where heavy traffic volume is

high, parking facilities, airfields and industrial facilities. One of the most important features of concrete pavements,

which are widely used in interstate roads in America, is more environmentally friendly compared to flexible

superstructures. This increases the need for concrete pavements in our time when sustainability is important.

Because of the complex concrete properties and soil properties, the concrete pavement design is complex than

expected. Due to the complexity of the designs, they were previously designed based on experiences. Subsequently,

design methods with both mechanical and experimental infrastructure have been developed thanks to mechanical

methods. Among these design methods, PCA 1984 and AASHTO 1993 are the most widely used for concrete

pavement design. Both the PCA 1984 and the AASHTO 1993 design method are used concrete properties, subgrade

reaction, and traffic characteristics as input parameters. In this study, three main parameters affecting concrete

pavement thickness (concrete properties, soil reaction and traffic) were examined according to AASHTO and PCA

methods. By this way, the correlation between pavement thickness and these parameters is shown. Another result

obtained from this study is which parameters are more sensitive to concrete pavement thickness.
