DOI: 10.1080/10298436.2025.2503392
Abstract: ABSTRACT Local weather conditions give rise to temperature distributions within Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCPs). Previous research has demonstrated that these temperature distributions are non-linear, leading to the development of curling and eigenstresses. In India… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/buildings14041039
Abstract: Transverse joints are introduced in jointed plain concrete pavement systems to mitigate the risk of cracks that can develop due to shrinkage and temperature variations. However, the structural behaviour of jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP)… read more here.
