The basic and fundamental principles that are required to make concrete pavements are discussed, including presentation of common equipment and methods.
Making good concrete
Three basics in making good concrete are discussed. Good concrete must have: Right materials Right proportions Thoroughly mixed
ASCP March Forum Program Concrete Pavements for Local Government
About this Forum Local Government in Sydney was constructing concrete roads and streets years before the Department of Main Roads (now Roads and Maritime Services). Most were in the eastern, inner western and lower northern suburbs. Many of those pavements are still in use today. These days, Local Government may...
Resource Materials for Local Government Pavements
A range of design guides, specifications, codes etc. are presented to local government audience by John Hodgkinson.
Forms, reinforcement, joints, dowels and tiebars
The quality of the placed concrete will be no better than the quality of setting the forms, fixing the reinforcement, and installing the joints. For each of these activities, the input of the paving crew is vital.
Preparation for Concrete Pavements

History of Local Government concrete roads
A history of concrete roads for local government is provided. Key evolutions in design and construction include: subgrade preparation attention to drainage jointing LMC subbase PCP, short joint spacing 4-5m selected use of CRCP pavement thickness, concrete strength and compaction restoration by grooving and grinding
Achieving quality in concrete pavements (Pavements for Local Government)
Session outline Quality Product vs Quality Systems ? Influence of construction quality on performance & durability Typical causes of quality compromise Benefits of good quality Role of training
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?
Effect of Nonuniform Foundation Support on Concrete Slab Responses
The ability to spatially map the stiffness of the foundation layers under concrete pavements with intelligent compaction has created a need to define limits on the allowable stiffness variations in a given construction area as well as the maximum size of a non-complaint area which does not require remedial action....
