The important factors that should be considered when designing and constructing the precast prestressed concrete pavement were investigated in this study. Those factors included traffic and environmental loads, interaction between the concrete slab and the underlying layers, determination of the slab thickness and the prestressing amount. In addition, the behaviors of the precast prestressed concrete pavement when post-tensioning was applied were analyzed using a finite element model. The effects of the number of anchors, the horizontal resistance of underlying layers, the pavement length, the slab thickness, and the bearing area of the anchorage on the distribution of compressive stresses were analyzed.

This research was conducted to analyze the behavior of PTCP (Post-Tensioned prestressed Concrete Pavement) under tensioning by performing field tests when the experimental PTCP slab was being constructed. The displacements in the slab under the environmental loading and tensioning were measured using temperature measurement sensors and displacement transducers. Tensioning was performed three times and appropriateness of tensioning could be determined by investigating the relationship between temperature and displacement, behavior of transverse crack, and daily change in displacement. The results of this study showed that under the first tensioning at very early age, large displacements were observed only near the joints because of the friction between slab and underlying layer and concrete inelasticity. Under consecutive tensioning, displacements were clearly observed all over the slab, but still affected by the friction. In addition, appropriate tensioning ensured the one-slab behavior of the PTCP slab even though cracks existed.

The pavement system constructed by tieing a number of precast concrete slabs employing prestressing techniques is called the precast prestressed concrete pavement. The behavior of this type of pavement system under post-tensioning was analyzed using a finite element model. First, the optimal number of anchors was determined by investigating the distribution of compressive stresses in the pavement system due to post-tensioning. Then, the effects of the parameters such as the horizontal resistance of underlying layers, the pavement length, the slab thickness, and the bearing area of the anchorage on the distribution of compressive stresses were analyzed. The horizontal resistance of underlying layers induced the loss of compressive stresses, and the loss increased in the middle of the pavement. As the pavement length increased or the slab thickness decreased, the stress loss due to the horizontal resistance of underlying layers became larger. However, the bearing area of the anchorage where the compressive forces were applied did not much affect the distribution of compressive stresses.

In this paper, actual bridges constructed with SMA (Stone Mastic Asphalt) deck pavement and virtual bridges substituted the deck pavement with polymer concrete under the same conditions were statically analyzed to investigate applicability of the thin polymer concrete bridge deck pavements. PSC (prestressed Concrete) girder bridge, steel box girder bridge, PSC box girder bridge, and RC (Reinforced Concrete) rahmen bridge constructed with the SMA deck pavement were analyzed and compared to evaluate various types of the bridge. The bridge deck and pavement were assumed to be fully bonded and the stress and deformation during the construction were ignored while those due to pavement weight and vehicle loading were analyzed. According to the analysis results, the stress and deformation of the bridges using the polymer concrete due to the pavement weight were smaller than those using the SMA because of smaller self weight due to lighter unit weight and thinner thickness of the pavement. The stress and deformation of the bridges using the polymer concrete due to the vehicle loading were larger than those using the SMA because of the smaller area moment of inertia due to the thinner pavement thickness. In case that the pavement weight and vehicle loading applied simultaneously, the stress and deformation of the bridges using the polymer concrete were smaller because effect of self weight reduction was more dominant. Investigation of performance of the bridge deck pavement and analysis of economical efficiency are warranted.

From the extensive review of literature on existing precast prestressed concrete pavement (PPCP) systems, an innovative PPCP system has been developed. After the analysis and design, the sample system has been built and experimented under service loads and the defects of the system has been noted. Further study has been done to improve the performance of the defects. The appeared cracks around post-tensioning pockets was a crucial problem which needed to be solved in order to satisfy the service life of the system without any doubt. In this paper, different shape and arrangement of the post-tensioning pockets in the joint panel has been designed and analysed in order to find best performance for the system.

The field experiments and analyses were performed to apply Post-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete Pavement(PTCP) at the Weigh-in-Motion(WIM) sensor installed sections. The experimental results showed that PTCP could be acceptable for WIM sections because the displacements were negligibly smaller at the cutting location for sensor installation.

One of the major benefits of the pre-stressed concrete pavements is the omission of tension in concrete that results in a reduction of cracks in the concrete slabs. Therefore, the life of the pavement is increased as the thickness of the slabs is reduced. One of the most important issues in dealing with the prestressed concrete pavement is determination of the magnitude of the pre-stress. Three dimensional finite element analyses are conducted in this research to study the pre-stress under various load (Boeing 777) and thermal gradient combinations. The model was also analyzed under temperature gradients without the presence of traffic loading and the induced stresses were compared with those from theoretical relationships. It was seen that the theoretical relationships result in conservative values for the stress.
