Evaluation of innovative concepts relating to prestressed concrete pavements, volume 5
Abstract
This report presents an evaluation of three methods for post-tensioning concrete pavements without embedded steel tendons. All methods permit joint movement while maintaining slab pre-stress at the pavement joint. One method consists of thin-wall hydraulically presurized bellows as stressing elements. The second uses a pnuematically charged rubber bladder. The third method makes use of stacked Belleville springs.
