Abstract

The steel design based on the width of transverse crack which is the major factor to affect a long-term performance of continuously reinforced concrete pavement was developed. For this study, twenty-one cities of Texas were selected and the temperature data was collected at those locations during the past ten years. From the data, zero-stress temperatures were calculated by the PavePro program and the widths of transverse crack were analyzed by the CRCP program. The variables used to this numerical analysis were slab thickness, coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete, steel ratio, and design temperature. The total of 448 factorial runs were made and the regression analysis was performed using the results. Steel ratios from the regression equations were backcalculated and a steel design table was proposed.

본 논문은 연속철근 콘크리트포장의 장기 공용성을 향상시키는데 핵심요소인 균열폭에 기초한 철근설계에 대하여 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 텍사스 지역의 21개 주요 도시를 선정하여 지난 10여년간의 온도데이터를 수집하고 수집된 데이터는 PavePro에 의해 제로스트레스 온도가 계산되었다. 계산된 제로스트레스 온도와 콘크리트 최저온도와의 차를 설계온도로 하여 CRCP 프로그램에 의해 균열폭이 수치해석 되었다. 수치해석에 사용된 변수는 콘크리트 슬래브의 두께, 콘크리트의 열팽창계수, 철근비 및 설계온도로서 총 448개의 조합변수가 해석되었으며 각각의 변수조합으로부터 해석된 결과를 회귀분석 하였다. 회귀분석된 결과는 회귀식에 의해 최소 균열폭에 대한 철근량이 역계산 되었고 이로부터 슬래브의 두께, 콘크리트의 열팽창계수, 설계 온도에 대한 철근비와 철근간격을 계산하여 설계표를 제시하였다.
