The pavement design of gantry crane lanes for the principal container facility of the Port of Portland is described. The pavement design was required to replace deteriorated sections of portland cement concrete pavement in an area subject to heavy trafficking. Traffic included forklift trucks and regular trucks as well as gantry cranes with wheel loads of as much as 80,000 lb. Alternate portland cement concrete and asphalt concrete pavement designs were investigated, and an evaluation of construction and drainage considerations and joint sealants was made. The alternate designs were investigated using layered elastic analysis and finite element techniques. Critical responses were compared with allowable fatigue criteria to estimate design life. The favored alternate design was 22 in. of reinforced portland cement concrete. Work began in June 1985 to replace the deteriorated sections with this alternate in three out of eight container storage areas. To minimize disruption of the facility, the storage areas are being closed one at a time and the contract will take about 2 years.
