       Notes - general: The desire to eliminate transverse movement joints
                        from concrete pavements has led to the concept of an
                        unjointed, continuously reinforced concrete pavement
                        (CRCP).  Tensile stresses within the  slab are
                        relieved by transverse cracks, which are kept tightly
                        closed by the reinforcement to mintain load transfer
                        across the cracks by aggrevate interlock.  The spacing
                        and the width of the cracks will have am important
                        influence on the performance of a CRCP at four new
                        road construction sites are compared.
