Abstract
Rigid pavements, commonly composed of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), are crucial infrastructure elements due to their durability and load-bearing capacity. This review paper synthesizes research on the performance evaluation of rigid pavements, considering factors such as material properties, environmental conditions, load stresses, and maintenance strategies. The analysis emphasizes the importance of material quality, design methodologies, and the influence of traffic and climatic conditions on pavement longevity. Furthermore, advancements in modeling and testing techniques for evaluating pavement performance are discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of current practices and future directions in rigid pavement engineering.
