Cover Story: Research on roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavements focuses on their progressive deterioration influenced by vehicular loads and ambient factors such as relative humidity and temperature, which vary with geographic location. This study examines the effect of drying shrinkage under vehicular loads using a computational model calibrated with typical ambient conditions. Laboratory experiments and numerical modeling were conducted, and statistical analyses validated these results. The importance of considering ambient effects in the structural design of pavements is highlighted, demonstrating that these can alter pavement stresses by up to 10% and underlining the significance of the proposed models for predicting the durability and performance of RCC pavements.
