Tyre Road Noise in Concrete Pavements
David Dash presents on tye road noise for concrete pavements. His presentation covers: Understanding noise: Pressure/power Frequency Filters Measurement and standards Noise spectra Recent results for varying pavement types Concluding that negative texture, such as that achieved via diamond grinding and longitudinal tyning may be preferable for concrete pavements.
Concrete Pavement Patching – Simpler can be better
Jim Grove (Federal Highway Administration), Dr Jim Cable (Cable Concrete Consultation) and Dr Peter Taylor (National Concrete Pavement Technology Centre) present on improving concrete patching practices. Areas covered included: Strength focus - are we neglecting durability Why do we patch? How long should a patch last? Opening strength requirements Thickness...

Two layer paving with porous (no fines) concrete upper layer
George Vorobieff presents on a planned trial for wet on wet no fines concrete base pavement. The presentation covers the background of no fines (or porous) concrete pavement, including discussion on low noise pavement options. Hand placement and slipformability trials have been undertaken as part of the Northern Hume Alliance,...
