permitting very long slab lengths with improved riding comfort and
reduced maintenance as compared to plain concrete pavements.
Conventional CRCP requires relatively high percentage of steel of the
order of 0.7-1.0 per cent of concrete cross-section. The technique of
CRCP construction with elastic joints (CRCP-EJ) enables significant
reduction in quantity of steel required (0.4 - 0.5 per cent) and also
eliminates the random cracks which occur in conventional
continuously reinforced concrete pavements.

the slab movement due to shrinkage and temperature change, and thus
induces stresses in both steel and concrete. However, if steel is
provided at mid-depth of the slab, as is the usual practice, no stress
will develop in it due to wheel load and warping.

Note: While finding out the temperature stress at the edge, IRC:58
recommends definite values of temperature differential in
different states of India. This differential has been
designated as At in IRC:58 and is different from A T which

effective slab thickness and its continuity at elastic joints provides
additional load transfer over and above that provided by conventional
dummy contraction joint. At the same time, the percentage of steel is

3.4. Water
Water used for both mixing and curing should be clean and free
from injurious amount of deleterious matter and should conform to
IS:456. Potable water is generally considered satisfactory.

5. REINFORCEMENT
The steel mats, assembled at site, are placed over suitable chairs
at mid depth of the slab before concreting is done. The bars should
be continuous across elastic joints and any construction joints. Where
overlap of bars is required, a minimum overlap of 30 diameters should
be provided. Such overlaps should be staggered. It should also be
ensured that no overlap of steel bars are provided at the location of
elastic joints.
