PCCP

This document summarizes common defects in Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) and their probable causes and recommendations. Major defects include scaling caused by insufficient cement paste or improper mixing/curing; transverse cracks from settling base or unfavorable weather without contraction joints; longitudinal cracks from narrow road widths; and multiple cracks from failed bases. Recommendations are to follow proper mix designs and procedures, attain fully compacted bases, add contraction joints before 24 hours, and replace failed pavement. The workshop aims to control materials quality in infrastructure projects through identifying defects, determining root causes, and prescribing preventative measures.
