Abstract Over the years, many improvements in the best practices in the design of CRCP have been implemented to improve long-term performance. These improvements have resulted from experience from the field, better understanding of CRCP behavior, improved structural modeling of CRCP, improved materials, and improved construction processes. A compendium of the best practices was included in the CRCP Manual, published in 2016 (Ref. 1). In addition, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has published several documents that provide additional guidance on design, construction, and maintenance of CRCP (Ref. 2–5). This Tech Brief provides guidance on optimizing several key design features based on the information included in the previously cited references and recent refinements implemented in the field.
