Title: RESEARCH ON THE TRANSVERSE CONTRACTION JOINT SPACINGS OF ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
Abstract: Aimed at the main factors of the contraction joint spacings of roller compacted pavements, the scope of the transverse contraction spacings for roller compacted pavements is suggested, by means of analyzing the factors controlling joint spacings and the mechanism of extending joint spacings. The paper suggests that the contraction joint spacings for full-depth roller compacted pavements should be between 6 and 8cm; the use behaviours of all kinds of joints should be observed for a long period. The results from four test roads are given.
