This forum addressed design & construction related to Ports & Airports. The range of expert speakers included John Knapton from UK & Mark Smallridge from USA. Concrete Block paving, Roller Compacted Concrete paving & geotechnical aspects were also presented.
New Developments in Concrete Mix Design
This forum addressed both concrete road pavements & concrete industrial pavements. Presentations made addressed concrete mix designs, design & construction aspects, as well as current information about diamond grinding of concrete road pavements in Australia. New developments in concrete mix design: • Sands have become finer with a gap between...
Good Concrete Mix Design
This forum addressed both concrete road pavements & concrete industrial pavements. Presentations made addressed concrete mix designs, design & construction aspects, as well as current information about diamond grinding of concrete road pavements in Australia. Good Concrete Mix Design: •Understand requirements of the concrete. •Identify if an existing mix may...
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...
Surface Stresses of Thick Concrete Pavement Slabs Due To Traffic Loads and Non-Linear Temperature Distributions
In this study, possibility of top-down cracking in concrete pavement was investigated. The main cause of the crack is supposed to be tensile stress at the top of the concrete slab. 3DFEM simulations that took into account actual temperature distributions throughout slab depth were performed on concrete pavements for a...
ASCP Forum – Ports & Airports
This forum addressed design & construction related to Ports & Airports. The range of expert speakers included: Shane Dunstan - Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement Brian Shackel - Interlocking Block Paving Weeks White - Construction & Geotechnical John Knapton - Ports Robert Smith - Airports Bruce Rodway - Airports
Concrete Pavements Under Container Stackings
Contact pressures produced by container stackings in concrete pavements are very high. Theoretically, slab stresses widely overcome the flexural strength of concrete. However, in real pavements functional conditions are not affected as it is observed. Therefore, what is really happening should be analyzed. A full-scale test was made in summer...
