DIFFERENT TYPES OF CC PAVEMENTS:
Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP)
– does not use any reinforcing steel
Mild steel sections and blocks for making joint grooves for
finishing purpose
METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION OF CC PAVEMENTS :
First the site is graded to cut high points and fill low areas to the
desired roadway profile elevations.

TYPES OF JOINTS IN CC PAVEMENTS:

Expansion joints
The compressed
filler board may
partly recover and
joint sealer moves
down.
JOINT SEALER
Top portion of gap at expansion joint above the joint filler is sealed to
prevent entry of water and grit into pavement through expansion joint
Hence, for effective sealing of joint for a long period, it is essential that
sealing compounds posses these properties :
1. Adhesion to cement concrete edges.
2. Extensibility without fracture.
3. Resistance to ingress of grit.
4. Durability.
