Outline 2020 tested our flexural capacity and at times strained our mental tensile strength to 85% yield. To maintain tradition, ASCP has worked hard to develop a unique line-up of papers and delivery format for its 6th Concrete Pavements Conference which was delivered in August 2021. Like previous biennial conferences,...

Texturizado Suave, Seguro, Duradero y Rentable (LDNG) Las administraciones que gestionan infraestructuras viarias quieren pavimentos con bajo coste de construcción inicial, bajo coste de mantenimiento, buena resistencia al deslizamiento, especialmente en clima húmedo 1, buen confort y calidad de conducción y bajo nivel de ruido. El LNDG cumple con cada...

Presentation by Geoff Ayton on design and construction of concrete roundabouts.  

Tim Nash presents on Partnering for innovative solutions in concrete paving. The presentation covers: General overview of US concrete paving market (Covid effect, spending outlook and market characteristics) Paving manufacturer focuses (mold design, frame/chasis design, control systems, attachments) Discussion of various recent projects (Interstate, local roads, safety barriers)

Presentation Overview What are Macro Synthetic Fibres Review of Current Practice (Global, National, Domestic & SRAs/DoTs) Current and potential applications Recommendations What are Macro Synthetic Fibres? Available commercially since the early 2000s Intended to be used as a replacement for steel mesh reinforcement and not for structural steel design. Manufactured...

Pavement type selection is often one of the more challenging and controversial decisions highway administrators face. The process involves weighing engineering factors such as materials, structural, and even long term performance against initial and life-cycle costs to help agencies decide between various pavement alternatives. Given the expenditure of significant public...

SRAs have been used in concrete in Australia since their introduction into the marketplace in the mid1990s. However, its recent application in a major road project in NSW has generated interest from Government bodies, engineers and contractors within this sector of the construction industry. The author therefore wishes to discuss...

Concrete pavement joints are required to be sealed to prevent the ingress of debris, mainly incompressible and water. In the year of 2012, there are a number of reports of pavement joint sealants losing adhesion within the first 5 years of service and eventually being mostly depressed under the wheel...

Conventional diamond grinding has been used in Australia since 2010. The purpose of diamond grinding is to improve ride quality and shape, reinstate service texture and reinstate skid resistance. This presentation reports on trials of low noise diamond grinding in NSW, Australia with analysis of performance monitoring results and comparison...
