1-6. Base courses. Base courses may be required for one or more of
the following reasons: to provide uniform bearing surface for the
pavement slab; to replace soft, highly compressible, or expansive
soils; to protect the subgrade from detrimental frost heaving; to
produce a suitable surface for operating construction equipment during
unfavorable weather; to improve the foundation strength (modulus of
soil reaction or modulus of elasticity); to prevent subgrade pumping;
and to provide drainage of water from under the pavement. When
required, a minimum base course thickness of 4 inches will be applied
over subgrades. Engineering judgment must be exercised in the design
of base course drainage to insure against the trapping of water
directly beneath the pavement, which invites the pumping condition that
the base course is intended to prevent. Care must also be exercised
when selecting base course materials to be used with slipform
construction of the pavement. Generally, slipform pavers will operate
satisfactorily on materials meeting the base course requirements in
paragraph l-6a. However, cohesionless sands, rounded aggregates, etc.,
may not provide sufficient stability for slipform operation and should
be avoided if slipform paving is to be a construction option.

(1) Width and depth of weakened plane groove. The width of the
weakened plane groove will be a minimum of 1/8 inch and a maximum equal
to the width of the sealant reservoir contained in paragraph (2) below.
The depth of the weakened plane groove must be great enough to cause
the concrete to crack under the tensile stresses resulting from the
shrinkage and contraction of the concrete as it cures. This depth
should be at least one fourth of the slab thickness for pavements 12
inches or less, 3 inches for pavements greater than 12 and less than 18
inches in thickness, and one sixth of the slab thickness for pavements
greater than 18 inches in thickness. In no case will the depth of the
groove be less than the maximum nominal size of aggregate used.
(2) Width and depth of sealant reservoir. The width and depth
of the sealant reservoir for the weakened plane groove will conform to
dimensions shown in figure 2-9. The dimensions of the sealant
reservo1r are critical to satisfactory performance of the joint sealing
materials.

(3) Keyed joint. The keyed joint is the most economical method,
from a construction standpoint, of providing load transfer in the
joint. It has been demonstrated that the key or keyway can be
satisfactorily constructed using either formed or slipformed methods.
Experience has demonstrated that the required dimensions of the joint
can best be maintained by forming or slipforming the keyway rather than
the key. The dimensions and location of the joint (fig 2-10) are
critical to its performance. Deviations exceeding the stated
tolerances can result in failure in the joint. Experience has shown
that the keyed joint may not perform adequately for high-volume medium

between the rigid pavements when the rigid pavement is 1,600 feet in
length or longer; install the second expansion joint in the last joint
of the rigid pavement. When joining a new rigid pavement to an
existing flexible pavement, cut the existing flexible pavement back to
the dimension for "buried PCC slab" only. The portion labeled
''modified flexible pavement design" will not be incorporated because of
the possibility of destroying the existing density of the base course
materials. When the juncture is installed during the construction of a
new flexible pavement joining an existing rigid pavement, the existing
rigid pavement will be drilled and doweled for the expansion joint.
The dowels will be bonded in the existing rigid pavement with epoxy

The special joint design may not be required if a new pavement joins an
existing pavement that is grossly inadequate to carry the design load
of the new pavement or if the existing pavement is in poor structural
condition. If the existing pavement can carry a load that is 75
percent or less of the new pavement design load, special efforts to
provide edge support for the existing pavement may be omitted; however,
if omitted, accelerated failures in the existing pavement may be
experienced. Any load-transfer devices in the existing pavement should
be used at the juncture to provide as much support as possible to the
existing pavement. The new pavement will simply be designed with a
thickened edge at the juncture. Drilling and grouting dowels in the
existing pavement for edge support may be considered as an alternative
to the special joint; however, a thickened-edge design will be used for
the new pavement at the juncture.

The formula above has been expressed on the nomograph (fig 3-1) for
steel yield strengths fs of 56,000 and 60,000 psi and the maximum W or
L can be obtained from the intersection of a straight line drawn
between the values of hdr and S that will be used for the JRC pavement.
The width of JRC pavement will generally be controlled by the concrete
paving equipment and will normally be 25 feet, unless smaller widths
are necessary to meet dimensional requirements.
(3) The maximum width or length of JRC pavement slab will not
exceed 100 feet regardless of the percent steel used or slab thickness.

4-2. Uses. Although several types of fiber have been studied for
concrete reinforcement, most of the experience has been with steel
fibers, and the design criteria presented herein are limited to steel
fibrous concrete. Fibrous concrete is a relatively new material for
pavement construction and lacks a long-time performance history. The
major uses to date have been for thin resurfacing or strengthening
overlays where grade problems restrict the thickness of overlay that
can be used. The use of JFC pavement should be based upon the time
saved and the availability of the materials involved.

4-6. Jointing. The joint types and designs discussed in paragraph 2-3
generally apply to JFC pavement. The tenacity of the fibrous concrete
does afford some variations in allowable joint spacings, and the
maximum joint spacing becomes a function of the load-transfer
mechanism. For the mix proportionings discussed in paragraph 4-3, the
maximum spacing of joints (transverse and/or longitudinal) will be as
follows:
4 to 6 50 25

5-5. Rigid overlay of existing rigid pavement. There are two basic
equations for the design of rigid overlays which depend upon the degree
of bond that develops between the overlay and existing pavement:
partially bonded and nonbonded. The partially bonded equation will be
used when the rigid overlay is to be placed directly on the existing
pavement. It requires the lesser thickness of overlay and will be used
when possible. A bond-breaking medium and nonbonded equation will be
used when a JC overlay is used to overlay an existing JRC pavement,
when a JC overlay is being used to overlay an existing JC pavement that
has a condition factor C < 0.35, and when matching joints in a JC
overlay with those in the-existing JC pavement causes undue
construction difficulties or results in odd-shaped slabs.
