Introduction

Reinforced concrete pavement could mainly be of three types: jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP), continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) and pre-stressed concrete pavement. Pre-stressed concrete pavement has a very specialized application, and sometimes used for airport runway pavements. The JRCP and CRCP pavements are schematically shown in Figure-28.
