In concrete pavement placed during hot weather unfavourable Lelilpelatuies Lall causc high stresses and therefore the formation of cracks. In pavements which are placed in the morning of a hot summer day, after a few hours very high temperatures at the surface and still low temperatures at the bottom of...

High strength concrete (HSC) having a flexural strength considerably higher than that of ordinary pavement concrete would be a suitable material - to replace only a single lane of concrete pavement deteriorated by heavy duty traffic (see Fig. 1) or - for constructing new pavement for high load with limited...

The solution of questions of using slag as a binder material vit1i different catalysts is highly actual, since it helps in broadening the nomenclature of binder materials. increases qualth' and durability of products containing these stags. Ecological problems of regions vitIi developed metallurgical industries are solved as well.

The addition of special polymer additives and dispersc reinforcement can improve the physicomechanical properties of cement stone being used in road construction.

Studies are being carried out on the influence of pharmaceutical waste at the Ukrainian University of Transportation, a especially the liquid waste on the physicomechanical 3roperties of cement concrete

A precast concrete slab trackway system developed for road railways in the seventies and a trackway system with glued rail fastening on underground and overground trackways will be reported on in this paper. As experienced, the glued fastening system proved to be more favourable in use. The Great Boulevard, one...

Usage of recycled concrete aggregates produced from crushed demolished concrete has been limited due to its higher cost and the difficulty caused from its major ingredients, cement mortar, and by-product powder. However, the exhaustion of aggregate resources and increase demand of preserving the natural environment require developing an effective application...

Concrete structures shrink when they are subjected to a drying environment. If this shrinkage is restrained, then tensile stress develop and concrete may crack. This shrinkage is a major concern for concrete structures especially for wall, slab and pavements. One of the methods to reduce the adverse effects of shrinkage...

The paper presents the employed materials, including binder (Romanian patent) for the technology of mixing and laying of reinforcement concrete for an existing flexible pavement. After thirteen years of significant traffic (over 1.2 millions 100 kN axles) the pavement behavior is correct, proved by the state of slab margins and...

This report presents the experimental studies on the bending fatigue properties of normally cast concrete and roller compacted concrete mixed with recycled aggregates produced from concrete waste and on the applicability of this concrete to pavement. The present studies provides the following principal conclusions. (1)Recycled aggregate can be used as...

Applicability of precast concrete pavement (PRCP) with doweled joints to tunnel roads was investigated. The effects of subbase and dowel bars at transverse joints on the mechanistic behaviors of PRCP were examined. The thermal stresses in PRCP were also discussed. Fatigue and faulting analyses were conducted to compare the fatigue...

In the case of roller-compacted concrete pavements (RCCP) in spacious site like yard, harbor and so on, socalled fresh joint technique at longitudinal joints is widely used in order to achieve high load-transfer efficiency. However traditional fresh joint technique allowed the limited length of placing, because delay between the fresh...
