Research Brief: Minimizing Thermal Cracks in Concrete Pavements

This brief examines the risk of fracture of concrete pavements due to thermal cycles. CSHub researchers model the risk of fracture due to temperature changes and propose a method for estimating the risk of thermal cracking in transient-state conditions (when pavement is still undergoing a change in...

description This brief examines the risk of fracture of concrete pavements due to thermal cycles. CSHub researchers model the risk of fracture due to temperature changes and propose a method for estimating the risk of thermal cracking in transient-state conditions (when pavement is still undergoing a change in temperature) and steady-state conditions.
