INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes the activities in Phase I of “Assessing the Impact to Concrete Pavement Smoothness from Curling, Warping and other Early-Age Behavior: Early, Frequent, and Detailed (Project 16).” The purpose of this project is to obtain detailed information about factors affecting pavement smoothness during the critical time immediately following construction by conducting a controlled field evaluation of three concrete pavement construction projects. The results of this research will assist ongoing efforts within the FHWA. During the Phase I evaluation, both field and laboratory testing of the materials and construction process were conducted. Extensive pavement profiling was also performed during strategic times after placement. By using the data from this research and by using the mathematical models being developed as part of current FHWA studies and elsewhere, a better understanding will be gained of the complex relationship between concrete pavement smoothness and concrete pavement curling, warping, and other early-age behavior. While this project measured specific types of data, it was not conducted in a vacuum. The “Early, Frequent, and Detailed” (EFD) concept is a part of the strategic plan advanced in the FHWA’s Task 15, now termed the CP Road Map.

This project has been organized into the four following tasks: Task 1: Program planning Task 2: Pre-visit data collection and briefing Task 3: Pavement instrumentation/monitoring and pavement testing Task 4: Post-visit documentation and data submission

During Phase I of this project, all tasks were fulfilled for the initial construction project on US 151 near Platteville, Wisconsin. Task 1 was fulfilled prior to the US 151 investigation, and resulted in the development of an overall testing plan. Tasks 2 and 3 were performed during the construction of US 151 near Platteville, Wisconsin from October 22 to 27, 2004. Although the data from the initial construction project has been reported and submitted, this report fulfills the remaining requirements of Task 4 for Phase I.

DATA COLLECTION

The data collected for this project includes design information, laboratory and materials tests, and in situ instrumentation and monitoring.

Pavement Design

The field evaluation was conducted during the construction of a 9.5-in. (240-mm) jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP). The pavement was constructed over a 6-in. (152-mm) open-graded granular base. The concrete haul trucks backed down the grade to access the slipform paver. The transverse joint spacing was approximately 15 ft (4.6 m). The passing lane was approximately 12 ft (3.7 m) wide, and the travel lane was approximately 14 ft (4.3 m) wide, which includes a 2-ft (0.7-m) shoulder. An open-graded granular shoulder was added after construction.

Across the longitudinal joints, 24-in. (610-mm) tie-bars (size #4, 0.5 in. or 12.7 mm) were inserted approximately every 33 in. (838 mm). The slipform paver utilized an automated dowel

1

Page 9: Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior ...Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior on Concrete Pavement Smoothness: Early, Frequent, and Detailed

bar inserter (DBI) that placed 18-in. (457-mm) long, 1.25-in. (32-mm) diameter smooth dowels approximately every 30 in. (762 mm) along the transverse joints.

Conventional saws were used to cut transverse and longitudinal joints to a depth of approximately 3 in. (76 mm) and to a width of approximately 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). As per Wisconsin Department of Transportation specifications, no joint cleaning or sealants were used. Appendix A contains photos of typical construction operations, including concrete delivery, paving, texturing, curing, sawing, and shouldering.

Pavement Materials

Obtaining fundamental properties of the paving materials was a key component of this project and aided in the correlation between construction projects, as well as in providing a foundation for future tests on the test sections. The concrete mixture design is provided in Table 1. The Blaine Fineness for the portland cement and fly ash was reported to be 3,774 and 5,337 cm2/g, respectively. The strengths of the subbase and subgrade layers were not reported to the project team.

The overall testing plan also prescribed a series of laboratory tests on the concrete mixture, shown in Appendix A. The splitting tensile (ASTM C 496) and compressive (ASTM C 39) strengths, as well as corresponding maturity values, are reported in Tables 2 and 3. The elastic modulus was also measured at various ages and is reported in Table 4. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) measured from field-fabricated samples tested at 56 days was reported to be 1.044E-5 ε/°C.

Using measured surface strains in three directions, the project team made estimates of the CTE, as shown in Table 5 and Figure 1. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) through the concrete was also measured at various ages and is reported in Figure 2. The data shows that the set time of the concrete occurred between 5 and 8 hours.

Curling and Warping Monitoring

Two test sections, as shown in Figure 3, were selected to represent the entire pavement length. The selection criteria outlined in the overall testing plan included selecting a relatively flat grade and avoiding horizontal curves. Figure 4 diagrams the test sections and depicts the location of instrumentation within the 300-ft sections, including the corner Demec instrumentation at the free edge corners of slabs 10 and 11 (typical).

Diurnal Testing

To capture changing slab curvature conditions due to varying slab temperature gradients, field monitoring activities were performed in a diurnal cycle. For example, it is known that upward slab curling, wherein the corners/edges of the slab curl up, occurs when the bottom of the slab is

5

Page 13: Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior ...Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior on Concrete Pavement Smoothness: Early, Frequent, and Detailed

warmer at the bottom than at the top. The maximum upward curling condition generally occurs during early morning hours, just before sunrise. In a similar manner, downward slab curling occurs when the top of the slab is warmer than the bottom. The maximum downward curling condition generally occurs around noon or in the very early afternoon, when the surface of the slab is heated by the sun. These maximum conditions are highly dependent on climatic conditions, such as cloud cover, but in general these are the timeframes for the maximum slab temperature gradient. The project team documented the diurnal cycles by continuously recording the environmental conditions before, during, and after construction, as shown in Figure 5.

While the degree of slab curvature ultimately depends on the curvature “built in” during construction, the majority of JPCP pavements exhibit diurnal changes in slab curvature. To accommodate for the additional effects of heat generated through cement hydration, two test sections were instrumented to correspond to morning and afternoon construction. This diurnal testing of multiple sections provides a better understanding of the changes in slab curl that occur on a daily basis.

Slab Temperature Gradient

Knowing the temperature gradient in the pavement slab when profile measurements are collected is essential for understanding the correlation between changes in curvature and changes in the temperature gradient. Slab temperature data was logged at five-minute intervals throughout the field evaluation period. Appendices B and C contain the temperature and maturity records for the two test sections.

Temperature instrumentation consisted of Thermochron iButtons® attached to a stake at different depths and placed before the paver approximately 3 ft (0.9 m) from the pavement edge, as shown in Figure 6. iButtons® are self-contained temperature sensors that measure and log temperature, along with date and time. This information is used to determine the temperature profile during diurnal tests, as well as maturity-estimated strengths. A typical instrumentation setup is shown in Figure 7. In addition to logging slab temperature profiles during the evaluation period, the project team reset the iButtons® to log at a 3-hour interval for seasonal monitoring, allowing up to 256 days before downloading is necessary. Instrumentation leadwires were extended beyond the shoulder in a pipe and buried to facilitate future access, as shown in Figure 8.

Relative and Absolute Joint Opening

To aide in the characterization of slab curling and warping, it was necessary to characterize the movement of transverse and longitudinal joints immediately following construction, as well as during diurnal cycles. Beginning shortly after construction, the project team attached stainless steel discs to the pavement surface to be used with DEMEC caliper measurements. Figures 9 and 10 show the discs on the concrete surface for joint movement and surface strain measurements, respectively.

Page 16: Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior ...Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior on Concrete Pavement Smoothness: Early, Frequent, and Detailed

Figure 10. DEMEC points across a transverse joint

These points were installed at the prescribed locations for each instrumentation location listed below:

• nine successive transverse joints, to measure joint movement • eight successive longitudinal joint locations, to measure joint movement • two “peacock” patterns at slab corners, to measure surface strain (CTE)

Since this instrumentation involved a new concrete pavement with joints that had not fully begun to open and close in direct response to temperature changes, the project team referenced all relative joint movements to the initial reading taken at each location. To further aide in the analysis, the date, time, concrete age, and average concrete temperature was provided with each recording. Figure 1 and Table 5 provide the cumulative results for surface strains observed in the “peacock” pattern. It should be noted that this construction took place late in the paving season and resulted in a relatively small range of concrete temperatures. Cumulative results for relative joint movements are provided in Appendices B and C for the morning and afternoon paving test sections, respectively.

Vertical Slab Movement

The project team installed linear variable distance transducers (LVDTs) at strategic locations in one slab within each test section. In addition to installations at the corner and mid-slab free edge, as shown in Figure 11, an additional six LVDTs were installed in the same slab to provide data for additional modeling. These measurements were used by the project team as a reference to the absolute slab movement due to curling and warping. LVDT installations on the slab edge and interior slab areas are depicted in Figure 12. The LVDTs were connected to dataloggers, which logged data at a 10-minute interval. The data records for both test sections are provided in Appendices B and C for the morning and afternoon paving test sections, respectively.

Inclinometer Profiling

The central feature in this research program is the extensive early-age smoothness measurements. The project team rented a FACE Company Dipstick® profiler to measure pavement surface profiles in three patterns during diurnal cycles, as shown in Figure 13. Level A

10

Page 18: Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior ...Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior on Concrete Pavement Smoothness: Early, Frequent, and Detailed

profiles followed a loop along the outside pavement edge and at mid-slab for all 20 slabs. Level B profiles followed a loop at 1.5 ft and 3 ft from the outside free edge and 1 ft and 3 ft from the longitudinal joint for 4 successive slabs near the center of the 20-slab test section. Level C profiles followed a “butterfly” loop of transverse and diagonal traces for the same slabs tested in Level B. Due to the time required to measure all profile patterns during a single diurnal cycle, the testing plan was modified by only collecting Level B profiles in the mid-afternoon diurnal period and by reducing the number of slabs in the Level B profile pattern.

Figure 13. Inclinometer profiling levels and paths

The profile information on the longitudinal paths (Levels A and B) was processed using the FHWA Pavement Profile Viewing and Analysis (ProVAL). Since the inclinometer profiler records raw elevation data, the profiles were passed through a Butterworth bandpass filter to remove trends from grade changes for visual evaluation. Ride statistics, namely the International Roughness Index (IRI), Pre-Transformed Ride Number (PTRN), and Ride Number, do not require detrending and were calculated directly from the raw profiles. The calculated ride statistics, as well as other measured parameters, such as pavement temperature, are summarized in the following tables:

• Tables 6 and 7: Level A, Morning Paving Test Section • Tables 8, 9, 10, and 11: Level B, Morning Paving Test Section • Table 12 and 13: Level A, Afternoon Paving Test Section • Tables 14, 15, 16, and 17: Level B, Afternoon Paving Test

11

Page 19: Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior ...Impact of Curling, Warping, and Other Early-Age Behavior on Concrete Pavement Smoothness: Early, Frequent, and Detailed

Plots of filtered profiles from Levels A and B are also provided in Appendices B and C for the morning and afternoon paving test sections, respectively.

The “butterfly” pattern of Level C was profiled to measure individual slab curl in diurnal cycles. Due to skewed joint sawcuts, which created non-square slab corners, each of the four profile segments were measured independently. Each segment was first filtered to remove the effect of grade changes and then normalized to the initial profile for comparison purposes. As opposed to this profile pattern on existing JPCP slabs, the joints have not begun to fully form and move with the diurnal cycle, which complicates the analysis. The DEMEC measurements of relative joint opening are necessary to explain the Level C profile results. The results from each path on the four slabs of each test section are reported in Appendices B and C.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

As in any aggressive field instrumentation and monitoring plan, the project team faced several issues at the first construction site. It was immediately evident that the capabilities of he inclinometer profiler selected were inadequate for the schedule outlined in the overall testing plan. The short amount of time in the early morning diurnal cycle combined with the relatively slow speed of the profiler forced the project team to only collect a shortened Level B profile in the mid-afternoon diurnal period. However, this problem was alleviated in the remaining instrumentation projects (in Phase II) by renting a faster, more expensive profiler. The new profiler allowed the project team to collect all profiles in both the morning and afternoon diurnal cycles and to extend the Level B profile pattern to include all slabs within each test section.

In addition to the inadequacy of the profiler, the overall testing plan was too aggressive for temperature instrumentation. It was found that only small variations existed between the three instrumentation locations within each test section. For the Phase II construction projects, the project team therefore installed temperature instrumentation at a single location within each test section.

While at the first construction site, the project team was also unable to install Hygrochron humidity sensors in the concrete test section due to concern that installation would affect the concrete surface and possibly the edge slump on the fresh concrete. However, the project team successfully installed the instrumentation in the remaining construction projects in Phase II.

To facilitate additional modeling, the project team was asked to install all LVDTs in the Phase II construction projects in adjacent slabs. The field data collected from the LVDT instrumentation will be compared to the finite element modeling solutions in the next phase of the project. This change will help the researchers understand the early age behavior of concrete pavement systems in more detail.

As a whole, the data collection effort undertaken by the project team was a success. The result of this project is a large amount of quality data on the early-age effects of curling and warping on pavement smoothness.

CURRENT WORK

The lessons learned from the initial instrumentation effort were applied in the Phase II construction projects. The project team instrumented and monitored newly constructed pavement in Burlington, Iowa, in June 2005 and near Marshalltown, Iowa, in July 2005 to complete the field instrumentation component of the overall project. This information will be presented in the Phase II report.
