    The document discusses short paneled concrete pavements (SPCP) as an alternative to jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) for high volume roads. SPCP are designed with smaller slab sizes of 1-2 meters compared to 3.5-4.5 meters for JPCP. This reduces cracking and allows for panel replacement if needed. The document outlines research on SPCP including a sponsored project to study their performance through laboratory tests and construction of test sections. The objectives are to develop design methods, optimize SPCP geometry, evaluate concrete fatigue properties, and monitor cracking and structural behavior to validate models and develop design guidelines.

    low load transfer efficiency

    High load transfer efficiency

    No dowel bars needed as the


    crack width is just 1/4th compared
    to conventional rigid pavement
