Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) is a no slump concrete that is placed by an asphalt paver and compacted with vibratory rollers similar to asphalt pavement construction. RCC has long history of good performance as a pavement for ports, container yards, and manufacturing plants. This paper will summarize a recent survey...
Recent Advances and Uses of Roller Compacted Concrete for Pavement Construction in the United States
Use of glass fibre reinforced polymer bars in concrete pavements
The use of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as an alternative to steel reinforcement has considerably increased over the past decade. Design-related information is now available and can be adapted into the Australian design and construction practice. The results of technological research and field implementation in concrete pavements carried...
More Durable & Thinner Steel Fibre Concrete Pavements
Steel fibre reinforced concrete has been widely used for pavement construction. The conventional pavement design methodology and that of adopted by the Australian pavement design guidelines are generally based on elastic theory. The addition of steel fibres to concrete enhances the post crack tensile strength and provides significant ductility. Consequently,...
Placing, finishing, curing, and jointing concrete pavement
The basic and fundamental principles that are required to make concrete pavements are discussed, including presentation of common equipment and methods.
Making good concrete
Three basics in making good concrete are discussed. Good concrete must have: Right materials Right proportions Thoroughly mixed
ASCP March Forum Program Concrete Pavements for Local Government
About this Forum Local Government in Sydney was constructing concrete roads and streets years before the Department of Main Roads (now Roads and Maritime Services). Most were in the eastern, inner western and lower northern suburbs. Many of those pavements are still in use today. These days, Local Government may...
Resource Materials for Local Government Pavements
A range of design guides, specifications, codes etc. are presented to local government audience by John Hodgkinson.
Forms, reinforcement, joints, dowels and tiebars
The quality of the placed concrete will be no better than the quality of setting the forms, fixing the reinforcement, and installing the joints. For each of these activities, the input of the paving crew is vital.
