Aggregate Gradation Optimization – Literature Search by MoDOT (Missouri)

Highways Free

A brief analysis of current MoDOT specified limits on gradations was undertaken. Depending on which side (fine or coarse) the gradations were running in relation to the limits, various combinations of sand and coarse aggregates A, B or D were all over the Coarseness Factor chart, with behaviour ranging from...

Plastic Shrinkage Cracking Spreadsheet to calculate evaporation rates of bleed water from concrete surfaces

Airports, Highways, Industrial, Intermodals/Ports, Trackslabs Members Only

This document is a simple Excel spreadsheet which allows the user to input Air Temperature, Concrete Temperature, Relative Humidity & Wind Velocity to determine the Bleed Water Evaporation Rate. The formulae, developed by P Uno, are based on the well known ACI Bleed Water Evaporation Nomograph.

How to reduce Tire (Tyre)-Pavement Noise

Highways Free

CP Tech Center Investigates Surface TextureThe National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (CP Tech Center) is currently working with the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and seven State DOTs on Part 3 of a three-part program to examine tire-pavement noise on concrete pavement. The initial activity involved the development of a...
