Ian Hampton of VCA presents on Volumetric Concrete Mixers and Rapid Set Concrete. Two new innovative products his company is bringing to the Australian market.
Concrete pavement construction equipment – batch plants
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...

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...
Road Safety and Surface Durability Aspects on Hungarian Cement Concrete Pavements
The ratio of cement concrete pavements has increased in the Hungarian motorway network in the last decade, and it has appeared also in the local road network. There are 15 cement concrete pavement sections with different type in Hungary. Maintenance agencies need a simple methodology for calculating surface deterioration of...
Air Void Formation in the Laboratory and in Practice
As a result of a short mixing time excess air-entraining agent (AEA) is added during the production of air-entrained concrete to achieve the required air content. In this case, the fresh concrete contains AEA that has not been fully activated. If there is a subsequent input of mixing energy, the...
Guidelines for Concrete Roundabouts in the Netherlands
Due to the durability advantages of concrete pavements, the application of concrete for roundabouts is gaining more and more popularity among commissioning authorities. In the Netherlands it is estimated that there are over 3,000 roundabouts. The market share of concrete is still growing. Concrete roundabouts can only be durable when...
Effect of Curling Behavior on Surface Smoothness of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement
The curling behavior of the continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) under environmental loads was analyzed by measuring vertical displacements at a number of different longitudinal and transverse locations, and the relationship between the surface smoothness and curling behavior was investigated. Two different crack spacings were selected and at each discrete...
