Rigid Pavement Explain rigid pavement
• Cement concrete roads are very high standard.
• They are called rigid pavements because they do not allow any flexibility.
• These roads although require initial heavy expenditure but because of their long span of
life, excellent riding surface and negligible maintenance cost, they prove cheaper than
bitumen roads.
• Moreover engineers have more confidence in cement concrete material and they also
like to construct these roads.
• In Malaysia, the road that used rigid pavement are:
i. Air Keroh-Pagoh Highway
ii. Kuala Lumpur-Tanjung Malim Highway
iii. Gurun-Bukit Kayu Hitam Highway

Types of rigid Unreinforced Concrete (URC)
Unreinforced / Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) uses contraction joints to control
cracking and does not use any reinforcing steel.
Transverse joint spacing is selected such that temperature and moisture stresses do not
produce intermediate cracking between joints.
This typically results in a spacing no longer than about 6.1 m (20 ft.).
Dowel bars are typically used at transverse joints to assist in load transfer.
Tie bars are typically used at longitudinal joints
Advantage
Thicker
Differential joint movement
More prone to cracking
More joint to maintain
Does not use any reinforcing steel

Types of rigid Joined reinforced concrete Pavement (JRCP)
Jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP, see Figure 5-7) uses contraction joints and
reinforcing steel to control cracking.
Transverse joint spacing is longer than that for JPCP and typically ranges from about 7.6
m (25 ft.) to 15.2 m (50 ft.).
Temperature and moisture stresses are expected to cause cracking between joints,
hence reinforcing steel or a steel mesh is used to hold these cracks tightly together.
Dowel bars are typically used at transverse joints to assist in load transfer while the
reinforcing steel/wire mesh assists in load transfer across cracks.

Types of rigid Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP)
Continuously reinforced concrete pavement does not require any contraction joints.
Transverse cracks are allowed to form but are held tightly together with continuous
reinforcing steel.
Research has shown that the maximum allowable design crack width is about 0.5 mm
(0.02 inches) to protect against spalling and water penetration (CRSI, 1996[1]).
Cracks typically form at intervals of 1.1 – 2.4 m (3.5 – 8 ft.).
Reinforcing steel usually constitutes about 0.6 – 0.7 percent of the cross-sectional
pavement area and is located near mid-depth in the slab.

Types of rigid Pre-Stress Concrete (PSCP)
• PSC also known as Post Tensioned Concrete Pavement. Normally place in specialized
locations such as airports. The concept for precast pavement incorporates prestressing.
Prestressing not only improves the durability of the pavement, but also permits a
significant reduction in slab thickness by inducing a precompressive stress in the
pavement that must be overcome before tensile stresses that lead to cracking can
occur.
• Mostly done in factory
• Easy installation
• Save cost
Compression
Compression
Tension
Tensioned Cable
Applies a compressive force on the bottom of the
concrete. This neutralizes the tension force on
the bottom and the concrete does not bend

Advantage The advantages of rigid pavement
They provide excellent smooth surface for driving and provide better visibility.
They can deal with very heavy traffic.
Considering their life span more than 30 – 40 years, maintenance cost etc, cement
concrete roads prove cheaper than bituminous roads.
Maintenance cost is negligible.
Heating of aggregates and cement is not to be done.
Working with cement concrete is much easier and safer than with bituminous materials.
Cement concrete roads offer comparatively less attractive resistance.
In high class cement concrete roads heavy rollers are not required for compaction.
Handling of cement is easier than bitumen
They perform quite satisfactorily when laid on poor types of sub grades.

Civil Engineering Department | DCC3113 : Highway & Traffic Engineering
Types of joint Transverse joint
Contraction joints: allow the slab to shorten as it's temperature drops
• There is a crack inducer so that if cracking does occur then it is in the area of
reinforcement.
Protective coating
Expansion joints: allow the slab to expand as it's temperature increases above that at
which it was cast.

Types of joint Longitudinal joint
Warping joint (Sambungan Peledingan) : tie the slabs together and can be thought of as
hinges in the slab.
They permit small angular movements to occur between adjacent concrete slabs.
Warping stresses are very likely to occur in long narrow slabs.
They are required in unreinforced slabs only, as in reinforced slabs the warping is kept in
check by the reinforcing bars.
They are simply a sealed break or discontinuity in the concrete slab itself, with tie-bars
used to restrict any widening and hold the sides together.

Types of joint Longitudinal joint
Construction joints (Sambungan binaan) : Construction is normally organised so that work
on any given day ends at the location of an intended contraction or expansion joint.
Where this proves not to be possible, a construction joint can be used. No relative
movement is permitted across the joint.
