Full-Scale Testing
• 2 sets of pourback with different geometry were tested.– Set 1 consists of irregular shaped pourbacks found
on the Le Roy Selmon Expressway– Set 2 consists of rectangular shaped pourbacks.
• Three v/s ratios (0.26, 0.32, 0.37) were selected based on possible ratios of actual pourbacks. It is highly unlikely that actual pourbacks would exceed these ranges.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• FEA was performed using ANSYS by first performing thermal analysis followed by thermal stress analysis.

Preliminary ConclusionsPreliminary Conclusions• The time-temperature curves predicted by the ANSYS finite
element model closely matched the data obtained from field experiments.
• Thermal stresses predicted by FEM around the vicinity of the actual physical crack observed in the field showed close agreement with the limiting tensile strength
• Both the peak exothermic temperature and the maximum thermal stress increased as V/S ratio increased.
• For the S-type, the maximum thermal stress reached or exceeded the tensile strength of 24 MPa at V/S ratio between 0.32 and 0.37. For the R-type, this limit was reached at V/S ratio of about 0.37.
