| Abstract |
An improved CRCP computer program, CRCP-10, has been developed for the mechanistic analysis of continuously reinforced concrete pavements. CRCP-9 and CRCP-10 use two-dimensional finite element methods to calculate stresses and strains, which is a totally different approach compared with the previous computer program. CRCP-8, which uses one-dimensional analytical methods to calculate them. Since CRCP-9 considers a static single wheel load to calculate wheel load stresses, the effects of multiple wheel loads and their variations in amplitude are ignored. To improve and accuracy of the wheel load stress calculation, CRCP-10 considers moving dynamic tandem axle loads. CRCP-10 has Windows-based user-friendly interfaces for convenient use. This report summarizes the background of the CRCP-10 development, installation procedure, communication between files, detailed guide for user input procedure, explanation of output screens, and file control procedure. This report can serve as a user's guide for the CRCP-10 computer program. |
