The utilization of tarbearing scarified road materials, which are charged with phenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) to a considerable extent, is becoming a problem of increasing urgency in Germany. This paper deals with the consolidation of tarbearing scarified road materials with a special hydraulic binder, which due to its...
The Utilization of Tarbearing Scarified Road Materials with Special Hydraulic Binders
A New Assortment of Cement (CD 40-A) Meant for Concretes for Roads, Motorways and Airport Runways
The use of CD 40-A cement eliminates the classical procedures of measuring plastifying and air entraining additives at the preparation on site of the road concrete. The article presents the main characteristics of CD 40-A and the results of laboratory tests carried out to establish the influence of this type...
Recycling of Concrete for the Reconstruction of the Concrete Pavement of the Motorway Vienna – Salzburg
From 1991 to 1993 60 km of carriageway were reconstructed on the motorway Salzburg-Vienna, re-using the old concrete pavement 100% on the work-site. The fine material (0/4) that resulted when crushing the old pavement was added to the old granular subbase which without would have been too coarse-grained to be...
Reuse of Alkali Damaged Road Concrete in Cement Bound Road Bases
Aggregates were obtained from an alkali-silica damaged concrete road slab aggregates and used for road base concrete with different kinds of cement (low alkali cement, high alkali cement). After analysing the samples produced with these mixes, which were exposed for up to one year to different hardening conditions, no alkali-silika...
Reconstruction of Concrete Pavements Using Rubblized Bases
Reconstruction of concrete pavements can be performed by fracturing the existing concrete slabs into small pieces in situ and then placing a leveling course and overlay. The fractured slabs provide a firm base for the new pavement. The technique is increasingly used for the reconstruction of concrete pavements where the...
Fine-Grained (Sand) Concrete for the Construction of Cement Concrete Road and Airfield Pavements
The problem of using fine-grained (sand) concrete instead of the "classic one in the construction of road and airfield pavements is analysed. In sand concrete the coarse aggregate, crushed stone or gravel, are substituted by natural sand or a blend of natural sand and screenings 0.5 (10) mm. The use...

Study of Long-Lasting Materials and Conventional Paints on Concrete Surfaces
Due to the increase of concrete use in road cons-truction, the report examines the influential fac-tors on the three most important properties in roadmarking, above all on concrete pavements.The analysed properties are:- Night visibility.- Day time visibility.- Skid resistance.The study makes a comparison of two systems:two components system (plastic of...
The Passage of State Roads Through Built-Up Areas. Applications of Concrete Block Pavements
In the eighties, a campaign was set up in Belgium in view of the rearrangement of the state road sections which are passing through built-up areas. These projects were meant to improve the road safety and the viability along these cross town links. Efforts were made to come to a...
High Strength Concrete For Highway Pavements Ano Bridge Decks
An accelerated road-wear simulator employed by Norcem for experimental testing of abrasion resistance of highway concrete pavements subjected to heavy traffic by studded tyres was set up at Slemmestad, Norway in 1985. By increasing concrete strength from 50 up to 120 MPa, the abrasion was reduced by roughly 60-70 %....
Urban Road Pavements the Landscaped Pavement Concrete
The new concept of the urban fabric is taking on extension and is testifying increasingly to the fact that in our cities the street is not a road. Cement concrete designs have been staying abreast of these developments and architectural concrete is just one of the significant outgrowths of these...
Quality Assurance of Construction Materials For Concrete Roads in Germany
Heavy use of the pavements caused by traffic, cli-mate and winter service requires a highly resistantconcrete with high flexural strength. Correspon-ding requirements on road concrete are laid downin «Additional Technical Instructions for Cons-tructing Concrete Pavements» (ZTV Beton), partlyalso requirements on some concrete basicmaterials.All materials used for construction of concretepavements have...
