DAY ONE
Concrete & Pavement Design Principles
The owner’s expectations and translating them to design criteria
Design considerations
• Support systems (subgrade/base/subbase) and geotechnical modifications/improvements
• Loading and traffic characterization
• Concrete characteristics: curling, shrinkage, load and fatigue capacity
• Impact of reinforcement (rebar or fibers) on the system
• Managing discontinuities like joints and cracks
• Interaction of design variables to understand the need for a systems approach
Modeling methodologies and design guidelines
Design optimization and managing design and construction risks
Exterior Concrete Pavement Design
Design considerations for over-the-road traffic
Common design methodologies (Pavementdesigner.org, ACI 330, AASHTO)
Optimizing pavement designs
Ensuring serviceability and performance beyond structural design criteria
Construction and acceptance
Pavement examples:
• Entrance/exit route to facility
• Car parking area
• Over-the-road truck trafficked areas
• Odd loading
DAY TWO
Interior Concrete Slabs-on-Ground Design
Type of facilities, traffic types, and performance requirements
ACI 360 Design Guide
Jointing and joint fillings
Staying out of the Courthouse Zone
The “Jointless” Trend
Construction and acceptance (technologies)
Slabs-on-ground examples:
• General warehouse (reinforced vs unreinforced)
• Refrigerated distribution facility
• Odd industrial loading
Concrete & Pavement Maintenance and Sustainability
Slabs-on-ground maintenance and repairs
Exterior pavement maintenance and rehabilitation
Life cycle cost analysis (design comparison considering economics and risks)
• User cost (maintenance, down time, equipment repairs, etc.)
Sustainable practices
• Life cycle assessment and rating frameworks
• Pervious pavements
• Lighting
