Rational use of terminal anchorages in Portland cement concrete pavement

SW Ryu, H Jaiswal, S Choi… - Transportation …, 2012 - journals.sagepub.com
Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements have long been thought to expand and push
bridge structures, with bridge damage resulting. To protect bridge structures from expanding
PCC pavements, three terminal systems are currently used in Texas: anchor lug (AL), wide
flange (WF), and expansion joint (EJ). Even though the Texas Department of Transportation
uses all three systems in continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), the
effectiveness of these three systems has not been fully evaluated. The parameters affecting …

It has long been stated that portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements can grow and push
bridges, resulting in damage to bridge structures. To protect bridge structures from damages
due to the expansion of PCC pavements, three terminal systems are currently used in Texas:
anchor lug (AL), wide-flange (WF), and expansion joint (EJ) systems. However, the
