A successive Analysis for Continuously Reinforced Concrete Roadway

Abstract

Recently there has been a significant shift in transportation mode from Railways
towards the Road sector. Nowadays about 60 percent of freight and 80 percent of traveller
transport is met by Road transport in our nation, that demonstrates the requirement for
development of an honest road network. In our nation flexible pavement (bitumen) is commonest
for each national and state highways. Majority of roads are engineered with typical hydrocarbon
bitumen pavements considering its lower initial value, although the life cycle value of those
pavements are terribly high compared to rigid pavements because of frequent repairs and
conjointly want for complete resurfacing at interval of 4-5 years. Any fuel consumption of
vehicles is far higher on this sort of pavement than that on rigid pavement. Continuously
reinforced concrete is often a wonderful pavement solution for ponderously traveled and loaded
roadways, together with interstate highways. These days CRCP are often designed and
constructed systematically and reliably to produce superior long-term performance with
immensely low maintenance.
