The features and concepts underlying EverFE2. 2, a freely available three-dimensional finite
element program for the analysis of jointed plain concrete pavements, are detailed. The …

Field data from a section of heavily instrumented concrete pavement on the Gene Snyder
Freeway (I-265), Louisville, Kentucky were closely examined. To predict the mechanical …

Various aspects of the structural behavior of doweled joints, including load transfer, in rigid
airport pavement systems are investigated by using nonlinear three-dimensional finite …

A section of skewed jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs) that was constructed in the
northern part of Indiana failed with premature transverse cracks. The cracks were observed …

The evolution of analytical methods for the prediction of cracking in jointed plain concrete
pavements was traced over the period from the publication of Westergaard's early work until …

This study examines load transfer across doweled joints in rigid pavements using 3D finite
element analysis. A recently developed dowel modeling strategy is employed that allows the …

Non-dowelled short slabs are a cost-effective innovation of jointed plain concrete
pavements. The development of this innovation has been concentrated in their structural …

A double-layer structure model of pavements that considered interlayer contact status was
established to manage the dowel-bar position deviation problem in rigid pavements. The …

This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical investigations on the effects of
dowel misalignment on the joint opening behavior and distress in concrete pavement joints …

Rigid pavements have widespread use, eg, in motorways and airports, due to their excellent
properties such as high bearing capacity and long lifetime. However, when rigid pavements …
