Slipform construction of concrete road pavements began in the USA in the late 1940s. It was introduced in Australia in 1978/79 and is now the preferred form of construction and used wherever practicable. Australia’s first slipformed concrete pavement, Foreshore Road at Botany Bay in Sydney, about 4km in length with...
The Role of Quality Assurance in Delivering Long-Life Concrete Pavements
The fundamental goal of any pavement design and construction project is to provide a pavement system that will survive the predicted traffic and environment for the pavement design life. Structural design is primarily considered as the way to meet that goal. Concrete mixtures and construction practices are generally assumed to...
Full Width Paving – Plain Concrete Pavement Holbrook Bypass Investigation
Conventional plain concrete paving method is to firstly pave the two travel lanes with a single longitudinal sawn induced tied joint, followed by a narrow nearside shoulder paving operation. Full Width Paving (FWP) is paving the whole 10.0 / 10.5m plain concrete pavement (PCP) carriageway width in a single pass...

Use of Manufactured Sand in Concrete Pavement
Recent research by the Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA) focused on the selection of manufactured sands for general concrete applications and for concrete road pavements. Selected manufactured sands can be used as part of the fine aggregates to deliver workable concrete for general applications and to provide good skid...
Implications of Using Manufactured Fine Aggregates in Concrete Pavements
The International Center for Aggregates Research has been performing research on the use of manufactured fine aggregates (MFA) for over 15 years. The first issue was the high amounts of micro fines, i.e. minus 75 μmm, that typically exceed the amounts permitted by ASTM C33 in the production of concrete....
Key Components in Long Term Sustainability of Concrete Pavement Systems & Sustainability Considerations for PCC Pavement Design and Construction
This paper addresses key issues regarding important factors affecting the sustainability and long-term performance of PCC pavement structures. Key distress types and their associated features are discussed in terms of their effect on performance and sustainabilityin terms of specific pavement components. Relevantmaterialproperties are also identified and discussed as to how...

ASCP Achievements Reports 2020
2020 was a challenging year for ASCP with significant downward pressure on training opportunities (typically 45% of revenue) and the inability to conduct our key face-to-face interactive opportunities (Forums). The National Executive (NE) responded to this challenge with the implementation of austerity measures and the delivery of forums and courses...
