The advent of the new generation of volumetric concrete mixers in conjunction with the availability of calcium sulfoaluminate cements has transformed concrete pavement maintenance practice around the world and especially in the United States, Canada and South Africa and in NSW where there is a history of 8 years’ experience...
The important role materials play in concrete pavement design, performance, and service life
The materials that make up concrete have a direct influence on the decisions made during pavement design and construction, as well as the performance of the pavement in service. What happens when material performance varies from what was considered at design stage? What if we need to change construction methods...
Investigation on the effect of low carbon, low shrinkage, high flexural strength envisia® concrete on industrial floor and pavement application
The key structural element in most industrial enterprises is the concrete floor slab. The aim of floor design is to select the most economical thickness while considering sufficient reinforcement to control the amount and size of cracks to a level consistent with the intended use of the floor. However, one...
