The use of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) has increased in recent years in urban areas of Texas because CRCP provides a long-lasting pavement requiring little maintenance. A computer program, known as CRCP-10, has been developed using finite element formulations, transformed field domain analysis, and probability theories to analyze the behavior of CRCP. This mechanistic model predicts the crack spacing distribution and time histories of mean crack spacing/width and of longitudinal steel stress. The CRCP-10 computer program considers nonlinear variations of temperature and drying shrinkage through the depth of the concrete slab, curling and warping effects, concrete creep effect, nonlinear bond-slip between concrete and steel bars, changes in material properties with time, and moving dynamic tandem-axle loads. This paper presents details of the mechanistic modeling of CRCP and applications of CRCP-10 to various problems.
