Presentation on concrete batch plants by J Cathro of Prolinx Asia.
Diamond Grinding of Concrete Pavements
This presentation was part of a Forum presentation entitled “Concrete pavement construction equipment – batch plants, slipformers, diamond grinding”. It summarises that … Grinding improves ride quality improves microtexture improves macrotexture (albeit longitudinal) reduces tyre noise Grooving has no impact on ride quality has no impact on microtexture (hence no...

Plastic Shrinkage Cracking Spreadsheet to calculate evaporation rates of bleed water from concrete surfaces
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.
Concrete Pavement Design, Construction & Performance
The ACI has released a new publication "Concrete Pavement Design, Construction and Performance written by Norbert Delatte. It is available through the ACI at www.concrete.org - go to their bookstore. "A pavement project may be envisioned as a three link chain, consisting of materials, design, and construction. Because the weakest...
How to reduce Tire (Tyre)-Pavement Noise
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...
Role of SMZ & LMC in pavement design
The paper draws attention to the major differences in design methodology of flexible and rigid pavement designs. For concrete pavements, the design is based on the Equivalent Strength (CBR) of 1000 mm of subgrade. This includes the Selected Material Zone (SMZ) and is calculated using the widely accepted Japanese Public...

Development of RCC (USA), Getting concrete pavements on the road & open more quickly
This Presentation on Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) experience in the U.S.A outlines: What is RCC and RCCP? Does it have a place on Australian projects? Is RCC still Slipformed Concrete’s Ugly sister? Application Examples of RCCP – Roads – Industrial Why is North America leading the world?
The Advantages of Furnace Bottom Ash Products in Providing Pavement Ground support in Soft Soils and Wet Weather.
With more concrete pavements being constructed over soft soil foundations, the use of coal combustion products, such as furnace (bottom) ash, to provide bridging of soft areas and reduced construction risk by being able to be placed insitu in wet weather, becomes more critical. The use of such materials in...
