Title: Investigation of Concrete Properties to Support Implementation of the New AASHTO Pavement Design Guide

Project: The overall objective of this project is to provide material properties to be used for input into a mechanistic-empirical design procedure for concrete pavements. The use of the mechanistic-design basis for design of concrete pavements is expected to provide increased reliability of pavement structures and to provide a basis for the prediction of service life and how the pavement design parameters will affect various pavement failure modes, including cracking, faulting, and IRI (International Roughness Index).
