Abstract

This report summarizes the work conducted to develop the jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) tables of the new Caltrans HighwayDesign Manual (HDM) Rigid Pavement Design Catalog. The tables consider the different pavement structures that are expected toperform properly on the Caltrans road network. The tables were developed using Pavement ME (version 2.5.5) with the nationallycalibrated transverse cracking model. Pavement ME inputs were determined by considering the state’s climate, traffic, materials, andconstruction practices. A design life of 40 years, 10% target transverse cracking, and 95% design reliability were chosen for developmentof the tables. Transverse joint faulting and the International Roughness Index (IRI) were also determined for the sections in the JPCPtables using Pavement ME (version 2.5.5) nationally calibrated models and compared to Caltrans faulting and IRI limits of 0.15 in. and170 in./mi., respectively. The tables will be included in the printed version of the new HDM Rigid Pavement Design Catalog.
