  1. WORLD BANK TCP Design (THIN CONCRETE PAVEMENTS) Juan Pablo Covarrubias Washington 2008

  2. Type of Pavement we are Talking About

  3. PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE PAVEMENTS The basic performance principles of Concrete Pavements In Chile, the slabs are always curled with the edges lifted up, day and night.

  4. DEFORMATION OF A SLAB15 cm thick, 4 m. long

  5. EFFECT OF SUBGRADE STIFFNESS Armaghani 1993

  6. EFFECT OF SUBGRADE STIFFNESS cantilever Granular CBR 40 cantilever CTB Not bonded (polyethylene)

  7. EFFECT OF SLAB LENGTH cantilever cantilever 1/3 L 1/4 L Length 4,5 m. cantilever = 1,13 m cantilever cantilever 1/3 L 1/4 L Length 1,8 m. Cantilever = 0,45 m

  8. EFFECT OF SLAB LENGTHON SHRINKAGE AND CURLING a > 1

  9. EFFECT OF SLAB LENGTH ON CURLING

  10. SLAB LENGTH AND CURLING 3,8 m 4,5 m Holland 2002

  11. EFFECT OF TIE BARS ON CRACKING OF SLABS Cracking Hiller and Springenschmid, 2004

  12. Development of the Designby TCPavements Research at the University of Illinois Generate Design Method. Coordinate tests at international level

  13. Dx Dx L L Loads of Trucks on Slabs • Minimum Requirement for TCP design: • Maximum slab length less than L • Maximum slab width less than Dx (1/2 lane)

  14. LOADING OF LONG AND SHORT SLABS

  15. Efect of Loads and Slab Geometry on Stresses Top 2.47 Mpa Bottom 0.20 MPa Top 0.52 Mpa Bottom 0.24 MPa

  18. RELATION: length - thickness - tensile stress

  19. EFFECT OF SLAB LENGTH ON CURLING AND OWN WEIGHT STRESSES

  25. LOAD POSITION AND SLAB SIZE

  26. Top and Bottom Stresses for Length and Thickness

  27. CHARACTERISTICS of TCP Design Small slabs (1,8 by 2.4 meters) Granular base (fines < 6%) 15 cm thick Impermeable layer between the sub grade and sub base, if needed Thin joint cut (2 mm thick) No joints sealing No dowel bars or tie bars Lateral confinement with curb, shoulder or vertical steel pins Widened outer lane (30 cm)

  28. Design Design method being used: Design with AASHTO with normal slab size (4.5 m long) Determine by finite elements the stresses within the concrete of the slab for the AASHTO design Calculate slab thickness by iteration with ISLAB2000 with the new configuration of slab size and wheel positions (one set of wheels on each slab) to obtain the same stresses than the AASHTO design. The result, by using this new design approach, is a thinner concrete pavement with the same stresses as AASHTO design
