CONSIDERATIONS FOR
INTERSECTIONS
Why Concrete?
![Page 3: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Where are Concrete Pavements
Historically Used?
Answers:
High traffic areas
Areas with lots of turning movements
Situations where we need a “long-term fix”
Situations where future maintenance must be kept to an absolute minimum
Areas where future disruption to traffic must be kept to a minimum
Economical over long-term – Life-Cycle Cost (LCC)
Areas where safety is a priority – surface characteristics

Keep it Uniform!
Keep it Perpendicular!
Keep it Simple!
Keep it Practical!
![Page 10: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
JOINT LAYOUT
Joint Spacing and Placement Considerations
![Page 11: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rules for Joint Layout
Things to DoMatch existing joints or cracks – location AND type!
Cut joints at the proper time and to the proper depth
Place joints to meet in-pavement structures
Remember maximum joint spacing
Place isolation joints where needed
Understand that joint locations can be adjusted in the field!
Be Practical

Rules for Joint Layout
Things to Avoid:
Slabs < 2 ft wide
Slabs > 15 ft wide
Angles > 60º (90º is best)
Use “dog-leg” joints through
curve radius points
Creating interior corners
“Odd” shapes
Keep slabs nearly square or
rectangular, when possible

Solving the Intersection Dilemma with
the 10-Step Method of Jointing
![Page 14: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 1: Draw all pavement edge and back-of-curb lines to
scale in the plan view.
![Page 15: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 2: Lightly draw circumference-return, taper-return, and
crossroad-return lines as offsets of 1.5 – 3.0 ft
![Page 16: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 3: Draw all lane lines on the mainline roadway and
crossroad. Do not extend through return lines (offsets).
![Page 17: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 4: Define mainline lanes for paving. Extend only these lane
lines through return lines (offsets) to allow for slipform paving.
Blockouts & doglegs will occur in the gutter pan at these locations.
![Page 18: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs
in the pavement (begin & end of tapers, tangents, curves, curb
returns, etc.) and extend these joints through the curb & gutter.
![Page 19: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 6: Add transverse joints between and beyond the joints defined
in Step 5, but not to the center of the intersection. Attempt to keep
the distance between joints less than Lmax.
![Page 20: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 7: Define the intersection box by extending the edges of
pavement lines for the cross road and any turning lanes.
![Page 21: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 8: Check the distances between the "intersection box"
and the surrounding joints.
![Page 22: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 9: If the distance is more than the maximum desirable
joint spacing, add transverse joints at an equal spacing. Do
not extend these joints through return lines.
![Page 23: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Concrete Intersections: Jointing
The Ten-Step Method for Intersections
Step 10: Extend lines from center of curb return radii to corners of
intersection box panels. Draw joints along these “diagonal” lines.
Make adjustments to eliminate doglegs in pavement edges.

Why a Roundabout?
According to FHWA:
Up to 90% reduction in fatalities
76% reduction in injury crashes
30-40% reduction in pedestrian crashes
75% fewer conflict points than 4-way intersections
30-50% increase in traffic capacity
No signal equipment to install/maintain
No left-turn lane and reduced need for storage lanes

![Page 44: Design and Construction of Highway Pavement Joint Systems · The Ten-Step Method for Intersections Step 5: Add transverse joints locations where a width change occurs in the pavement](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042320/5f096b487e708231d426bf67/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Jointing
Decide on joint layout philosophy
Like normal intersection
Isolate circle from legs
Pave-through, isolate two legs
Other philosophy, based on experience
Follow 6-step method
Joints in circular portion radiate from center
Joints in legs are normal (perpendicular)

Step 3: Place a joint in each quadrant when the
pavement width changes as you work your way
out from the center. Make sure the joint is
perpendicular to the direction of travel.
