Design

The experimental continuously reinforced concrete (C. R. C. P.) road section has been realized in 1975 on a Romanian principal road, in a mountain area. There are presented the design method, the materials, the technology and the behavior after twenty years of traffic.

Halfway through 1996, six different wearing courses were casted over a length of 3 km on the N255 Edingeri-Ninovc at Ilcrnc and Gaimaarden. 4 Different wearing courses each 4 cm thick, were casted on a continuously reinforced concrete pavement. In addition to the conventional wearing courses SMA 0/14 and ZOAB...

Within the scope of a research project different block pavings have been studied under realistic load of a road test machine considering the influence on the resistance to vertical deformations and horizontal displacements.

This paper describes design solutions of the concrete pavements from Macau International Airport, including runway, taxiways and apron. Aspects about the execution and results from quality control are also presented, within the scope of activities made by LECM (Macau Civil Engineering Laboratory) in this project, as a quality assurance agent...

The quality control of pavement concrete is carried out with bending strength in Japan. However, the bending strength test requires very heavy specimens of 15xl5x53cm and it is not easy to cariy out loading tests. This paper shows the results of several experiments on the feasibility of using the splitting...

Rollcrete Base - also called Cement-sound Granular Base (CBGB) - is basically a dry material bound by Portland cement, placed using an adapted asphalt paver, and vibrated externally. One of the first applications of rolicrete for the Trans European Motorway project was on the Tarsus - Adana - Gaziantep (TAG)...

The present paper aims to contribute to the study of the structural response of concrete slabs jointed by dowel bars in pavements. As is known, a common construction technique of pavements is this one that uses concrete slabs interconnected each other in both directions by equidistant dowel steel bars. A...

The space available on our roads is becoming less and less. All forecasts agree that the increase in traffic will also cotiliiiue to grow considerably in the years before us. At the same time, because of the changes in political conditions in Europe and the opening of the frontiers, there...

The context resulting from the development of tfansportations and the requirements of a better accoustic confort. • Characteristics of the noise: sound speed; accoustic pressure; accoustic diagram; directiveness of the sound; accoustic spectrum. • Environment impact of the noise. Comparison of the railway and roadway noise. Most important factors that...

Mix-in-Place Recycling with cement stabilization is an economical and environmentally friendly method for the reconstruction of damaged asphalt roads and ways. The most remarkable characteristic of this method is that the entire existing road construction material can be used again for the new road pavement. This essay contains descriptions of...

In this paper some roads and industrial pavements where "semi-continuous concrete" was employed are prcscntcd as well as cost and performance under several conditions.

The Austrian specification for pavement design also contains standardised construction types for concrete roads. After more than 10 years of experience with the application of these standard pavement types the specification has been revised comprehensively with a special focus on the following objectives: - establishment of an improved method for...
