scope:

This guide covers the design of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP) for use on city streets and local roads (driveways, alleyways, and residential roads) that carry low volumes of traffic. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ACI 325.9R. References are provided on design procedures and computer programs that consider design in greater detail. This guide emphasizes the aspects of concrete pavement technology that are different from procedures used for design of other facilities such as highways or airports.
