Introduction
The conventional construction approach for concrete pavements in India is to lay high-
strength concrete in a single lift over a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) with a 0.125-mm-
thick plastic sheet at the interface to eliminate the possibility of any reflection cracking in
the pavement slab. The pavement slab and RCC require a lot of quality aggregates, which
are depleting at a rapid rate. The pavement design professionals can have an alternate
option of a two-lift construction, in which the pavement slab is bonded to the lean concrete
(LC) base. One great advantage of such construction is the use of recycled and low-
strength aggregates in LC.
A bonded concrete pavement, also known as two-lift concrete pavement (TLCP) in-
volves placing two lifts of concrete “wet-on-wet” rather than using the traditional method
of a single layer of quality concrete over RCC with a bond-breaking layer. TLCP consists of
an upper Plain Cement Concrete (+) (PCC) laid over a lower PCC (−) (LC). The PCC (−) is
generally thicker and may consist of recycled aggregates or local aggregates that are not
suitable for use in surface courses exposed to the abrasive action of traffic. The bottom
layer can also be “econocrete,” which is a concrete mix designed to use local aggregates that
do not necessarily confine to conventional standards. TLCP is more economical because
it makes use of marginal aggregates, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), and reclaimed
asphalt pavement (RAP) and enables the TLCP to be a sustainable solution in road
infrastructure.
The construction of TLCP requires two batching plants (one is for preparing the
PCC (+) mix and the other for PCC (−)), and two pavers are needed to lay the PCC (+)
and, subsequently, the PCC (−), one after the other. TLCP can be constructed with or
without concrete or asphalt shoulders. A two-lift bonded concrete pavement was first built
in the year 1914 in San Antonio, Texas, as shown in Fig. 1. A core taken from the same
pavement with good quality aggregates in the upper lift over softer aggregates in the lower
portion is shown in Fig. 2. Unlike jointed and continuously reinforced cement concrete
pavements, an analytical study on TLCP is limited.
Westergaard made a pioneering contribution [1–3] in the computation of the stresses
in concrete pavements due to load and temperature variation when considering the sub-
grade as a Winkler foundation. Teller and Sutherland [4] carried out extensive field tests in
Arlington, USA to experimentally determine the stresses in concrete pavements caused by
load, temperature, and moisture variation. The pioneering basic approach given by
Westergaard and Teller and Sutherland formed the basis of future development in the
analysis and design of concrete pavements.
The concept of equivalent flexural stiffness has been used by Huang [5] for the analy-
sis of stresses in a TLCP. If a polyethylene sheet is placed between PQC and LC layers, as
per the practice in India, the strain variation with depth will occur, as shown in Fig. 3. The
thickness of layers is so determined that stresses in each layer are below certain limits. This
approach requires a thicker layer for both materials. If bonding between the surface layer
and LC subbase is established, the monolithic action will result in reduced stress in the
pavement layers where the strain variation of monolithic pavements is shown in Fig. 4.

capacities relative to those with virgin aggregate concrete. Rao et al. [15] carried out a field
performance study and reported that TLCP pavement was cheaper than single-lift conven-
tional concrete pavement for equal performance. Thus, it was found to be a significant
improvement in sustainability with respect to material and design practices.
Several full-scale demonstration projects (Cable, Frentress, and Williams [16]; and
Hu, Siddiqui, and David Whitney [17]) reported that two-lift construction can be very
cost effective and has similar performance values as conventional concrete pavements.
Review of work by different authors clearly indicates that TLCP can give an equally
good performance as that of single-lift concrete pavement at a reduced cost because of
lower thickness requirement. Flexural stresses both in the top and bottom layers should
be within certain limits so that pavement has good serviceability during the design period.
Dowel bars may have to be provided even in two-lift construction where heavy traffic
conditions might occur. Readymade solutions for flexural stresses in different layers of
TLCP are not available. This article presents the results of the analysis of stresses in
TLCP considering both axle load and temperature gradient applied simultaneously to sim-
ulate field conditions. The effect of partial bonding of the two layers, as indicated by differ-
ent values of the coefficient of friction between the layers, is also presented.
Research Contribution
This article presents an analysis of stresses in TLCPs with various conditions of interface
bonding. It is clearly illustrated how stresses and strains vary in both the layers with change
in the coefficient of friction, which represents the degree of bonding from zero (smooth
surface) to 20 (partially bonded surface). It also illustrates the magnitude of stress in both
upper and lower layers of the bonded concrete pavements due to the simultaneous action
of axle load and temperature gradients for the varying values of the modulus of subgrade
reaction. No guidelines are available for TLCPs under these conditions.

the mesh, which functioned as a Winkler foundation. To these springs, a stiffness con-
stant k was assigned, which represented the modulus of subgrade reaction, as shown
in Fig. 5.
In a two-lift construction, the interfacial bonding may weaken during traffic load,
a difference in thermal expansions of the two layers, and curling due to temperature
gradient. So, the effect of the reduction in bond strength was also modeled by assigning
different coefficients of friction at the interface. CONTA174 was used to represent contact
and sliding between 3-D target surfaces and a deformable surface defined by this element.
The element is applicable to 3-D structural and coupled-field contact analyses. It can be
used for both pair-based contact and general contact. Between the bottom of the PCC (+)
and top of the PCC (−) layers, a surface-to-surface contact element CONTA174 was
created.
The CONTA174 contact element was used to assign different coefficients of friction
to model the pavement for change in bonding strength. It was observed that by changing
the coefficient of friction between the two layers, the stress and strain throughout the depth
of the slab varies. A range of coefficients of friction from 0 to 20 was selected based on the
literature, as shown in Table 2.

Daytime loading condition.
Two cases of loading conditions were considered for the analysis of two-lift bonded
concrete pavements. The first case considers day hours when the axle load and the temper-
ature gradients are applied across the upper and lower concrete layers at the same time, as
shown in Fig. 6. Another loading condition was in the night hours when the pavement
slab curls up because of the negative temperature gradient with axle load configuration, as
shown in Fig. 7.

in Fig. 8. Table 3 shows temperature measurements made at the surface, the quarter
depth, the middepth, the three-quarter depth, and at the bottom of the 203.2-mm-thick
slab at different hours. The temperature variation across the depth of the pavement
slab was closer to a parabola, which was approximated by two straight lines across the
depth, as shown in Fig. 9, where Δ is the temperature difference between the middepth
of the top layer and the bottom of the top layer. The difference in temperatures between
the top surface and the middepth was found to be about twice that of the difference
between the middepth and the bottom surface in most cases. The nighttime temperature
differential was almost half of the daytime temperature differential with linear variation
across the full depth. These thermal loads were applied on nodes of the FE model.
Preliminary analysis indicated that the stresses in the top fiber of the upper lift are
higher during nighttime because of a negative temperature gradient compared to the
stresses in the bottom fiber of the lower lift; the reverse is the case during the daytime,
indicating the correct trend of the analytical procedure.

tests [19,20]. By reducing the bonding from 20 to 0 between two lifts, which was indi-
cated by the coefficient of friction, there was an increase in stresses and strains at the
interface, as shown in Figs. 11 and 12. The rough interface between layers actuates the
monolithic action and the slab-foundation system experiences significantly lower
stresses.

order to understand the behavior of TLCP in terms of the variation in flexural stress and
elastic strain within individual lifts.
Tensile flexural stresses at the bottom of the top layer and compressive flexural
stress at the top of the bottom layer in the vicinity of the interface are shown in
Fig. 11. These stresses are relatively lower than those cases of partially bonded to un-
bonded surfaces. A similar trend was observed for elastic strain in both PCC (+) and
PCC (−) in Fig. 12. It can also be seen that the strain at the top of PCC (−) and that
at the bottom of PCC (+) are nearly equal to a coefficient of friction value of 20, which
was not the case in the unbonded layers case. The slopes of the strain curves along the
depth are different in the two layers, which is caused by the difference in material prop-
erty of the TLCP.
Fig. 13a indicates that, with a constant temperature differential of 21°C applied to
the 150-mm-thick top concrete layer resting over 150 mm for the bottom layer, the
flexural stresses in the top layer will increase with the increase in the modulus of sub-
grade reaction. When the lower lift thickness is increased to 200 mm, there is negligible
effect on stresses for higher values of k, as shown in Fig. 13b. The stresses decrease with
higher values of k when the thickness of the lower lift is further increased to 250 mm for
the same temperature gradient because of the lowering of neutral axis from the upper lift
to the lower lift.

For a fixed thickness of PCC (+), flexural stresses in the lower lift increase with an
increase in k value for all thicknesses of PCC (−) for a temperature differential of 21°C, as
shown in Fig. 14a–c, indicating greater curling due to the temperature gradient, which
happens in cases of stiffer foundations
For the 0°C differential, the stresses in both the layers decrease with an increase in k-
values for all load cases, as shown in Fig. 15a. If the temperature differential for the top
layer is 21°C, the stress in both layers increases with an increase in k-values for all load
cases because the load as well as the self-weight of both the layers flatten the curvature, as
shown in Fig. 15d. If the temperature differential increases from 0°C to 21°C, computed
stresses increase with an increase in k-value for different types of loads, as shown in
Fig. 15b and 15c.
The flexural behavior of both the upper and lower layers is similar for different tem-
perature differentials, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16 because of monolithic action.
A computation was performed to estimate fatigue life for a pavement of a given
thickness of 200 and 150 mm of PQC and LC, respectively, considering a modulus
of subgrade reaction of 25 MPa/m. Stress ratios are computed for bonded conditions,
which are presented in this article, and the IRC: 58-2015 [21] method was used for un-
bonded pavements in which the LC base is considered as the Winkler foundation.
Unbonded concrete pavements had a very short life as compared to bonded pavements,

It was observed that, at higher temperatures, TLCP pavements perform better when
compared to that of conventional or single-lift concrete pavements as shown in

Conclusions
• Two-lift constructions can offer an ecofriendly solution for a concrete pavement at a
lower life cycle cost because it provides longer life compared to unbonded concrete
pavements.
• For a fixed thickness of 150 mm of the upper lift with a constant temperature differ-
ential of 21°C, the flexural stresses in the upper lift increase with increment in k
values of the foundation. When the lower lift thickness is increased to 200 mm,
there is no effect on stresses in the upper layer for higher values of k because of
the lowered neutral axis. The stresses decrease with higher values of k when the
thickness of the lower lift is further increased to 250 mm for the same temperature
gradient because of further lowering of the neutral axis.
• For the lesser thickness of the bottom lift, the stresses are less for the lower modulus of
subgrade reaction (k) because of the higher temperature differential, which increases with
the increase in modulus of the subgrade reaction for similar temperature conditions.
• With an increase in the temperature differential, stresses increased with an incre-
ment in k-value for different loads at lower thickness of PCC (−) and vice versa.
• Stresses increase in the top layer with the reduction in bond condition, as indicated
by the coefficient of friction at the interface.
• The analysis presented in this paper can be used for the design of TLCPs.
