PERFORMANCE OF JOINTED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS. VOLUME VI - APPENDIX C - SYNTHESIS OF COMCRETE PAVEMENT DESIGN METHODS AND ANALYSIS MODELS AND APPENDIX D - SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS DATA FOR THE EVALUATION OF PREDICTIVE MODELS. INTERIM REPORT

A major national field and analytical study has been conducted into the effect of various design features on the performance of jointed concrete pavements. Extensive design, construction, traffic, and performance data were obtained from numerous experimental and other concrete pavement sections throughout the country. Field data collected and analyzed included distress, drainage, roughness, present serviceability rating (PSR), deflections, destructive testing (coring and boring), and weigh-in-motion (WIM) on selected sites. This information was compiled into a comprehensive microcomputer database. Projects were evaluated on an individual basis and then compared at a national level to identify performance trends. The performance data was used to evaluate and modify several concrete pavement design procedures and analysis models. This volume provides a general evaluation of several concrete pavement design and analysis models. This includes RISC, ILLISLAB, JSLAB, H-51, WESLIQUID, WESLAYER, JSC-1, JCP-1, AASHTO, RPS-3, PCA, PMARP, PEARDARP, PREDICT, BERM, CMS, Liu-Lytton, JRCP-4, and California Rigid Design. Sensitivity analyses are included for each section. This volume provides supporting documentation for Volume II.
