In Australia, most runway pavements are constructed from asphalt, however the reverse is markedly true for the USA. Melbourne’s Essendon runway was originally concrete but was overlaid with thick asphalt many years ago. Asphalt runways at Melbourne’s Tullamarine and Amberley have some sections of concrete. This paper explores the determination...
The Advantages of Furnace Bottom Ash Products in Providing Pavement Ground support in Soft Soils and Wet Weather.
With more concrete pavements being constructed over soft soil foundations, the use of coal combustion products, such as furnace (bottom) ash, to provide bridging of soft areas and reduced construction risk by being able to be placed insitu in wet weather, becomes more critical. The use of such materials in...
