Abstract

Mechanical behavior of precast concrete pavement with dowel bars at joint was examined. The effects of subbase and dowel bars at joint were discussed. The theraml stresses were also calculated and discussed. Based on the results, fatigue and faulting analysis were conducted to compare the fatigue behavior and amount of faulting of precast concrete pavement slab with the normal concrete pavement slab. As the results, increasing the flexural strength of concrete and the K-value of subbase for PCCP was found to be required.
