Precast Concrete Pavement: A Comprehensive Review of Technology, Applications, Advantages, and Challenges

  • Unique Paper ID: 179600
  • PageNo: 9130-9132
  • Abstract:
  • Precast concrete pavement (PCP) represents an innovative approach to pavement construction, offering potential solutions to the increasing demands for rapid construction, high quality, and reduced disruption in infrastructure projects. This paper provides a comprehensive review of PCP technology, encompassing its various types, manufacturing processes, and installation techniques. It explores the diverse applications of PCP across different transportation infrastructure, highlighting its advantages in terms of construction speed, durability, quality control, and environmental impact. Furthermore, the paper critically examines the challenges associated with PCP implementation, including initial costs, design considerations, joint performance, and the need for specialized equipment and expertise. Finally, it discusses future trends and research directions aimed at optimizing the design, construction, and long-term performance of precast concrete pavement systems.
