Bituminous Pavement and Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) on a Motorway in Walloon Region (Belgium) Economical Comparative Study

Conf-paper-iscr

and safety levels for very many years. The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Facilities of the Walloon Region conducted a comparative study of the motorway in 2000 between a continuously reinforced concrete pavement and a bituminous pavement. Very many factors obviously come into play for an objective comparison and they...

Twin-Layer Continuously Reinforced Concrete Surfacing at Estaimpuis on the N511

Conf-paper-iscr

Durability, the absence of deformations and a low level of maintenance when the road structure has been correctly designed and implemented are the features which are generally unanimously approved as regards the qualities of cement concrete surfacing. In contrast, comfort and driving noise are the characteristics which lead to the...

Inlay in Continuous Reinforced Concrete on the A10 Brussels – Oostende at Ternat

Conf-paper-iscr

Between September and November 2002, an inlay in continuous reinforced concrete was constructed on the A10 motorway between Groot-Bijgaarden and Ternat. The main components of the section of road are concrete slabs that are overlaid with asphalt surfacing. The work was performed in the shortest possible period, during which the...

A Fast and Comfortable Public Transport Lane in Continously Reinforced Concrete

Conf-paper-iscr

The Zuidtangent is a free high quality public transport lane between the city of Haarlem and Schiphol Airpoprt. The full trajectoryi s built in continouusly reinforced concrete. In this paper some design aspects are described. Also the use of concrete as a wearing course on bridges and in tunnels is...

Fiber-Reinforced Roller-Compacted Cement Concrete (Rollfiber) for Continuous Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

The ROLLFIBER process consists of roller-compacted cement concrete reinforced with steel fibers. It enables you to build continuous pavements without any joints. To reach this level of performance, the fiber has to have what is known as total' anchorage, and its action is optimized by the use of a concrete...

CRCP in France and Its Competitivity

Conf-paper-iscr

It seems now in France that, after these experiences and their results, the idea to accept for CRCP, a bonding assumption on a bituminous support, is really and that CRCP technology can hope now a new positive future.

Continuos Reinforced Concrete Pavement for a Roundabout on Foam-Concrete Foundation

Conf-paper-iscr

The work was undertaken by contractors Ooms Avenhorn. Work took place in the months of July, August, September and October 1995. The roundabout was opened for traffic on 6I October 1995 (photo 6). More than two years after opening of the roundabout and the road metalling associated with it, it...

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Roadbases

In the Netherlands Rijkswaterstaat is the authority in charge among others of the construction of highways. The department Utrecht of Rijkswaterstaat has chosen a continuously reinforced concrete roadbase for the construction of the 7 km long new highway scction between the cities of Bunnik and I Jtrecht. This choise was...

Study of a Romanian Experimental CRCP Road Section

Conf-paper-iscr

The experimental continuously reinforced concrete (C. R. C. P.) road section has been realized in 1975 on a Romanian principal road, in a mountain area. There are presented the design method, the materials, the technology and the behavior after twenty years of traffic.

Continuously Reinforced Concrete on Bridges

Conf-paper-iscr

As it is well known, in Belgium since the stast of the 1970s, continuously reinforced concrete has to a large extent been used as concrete pavement for motorways. On the bridges, asphalt was sometimes applied, which made it necessary to use expensive anchorages on both sides of the bridges to...

Monitoring Program for a Continuously Reinforced Concrete Roadbase in the E35 Highway in the Netherlands

Conf-paper-iscr

On the European route E35 near Utrecht in the Netherlands a new highway section has been built. The authority in charge has chosen a continuously reinforced concrete roadbase. A monitoring program has been started to collect data from the pavement behaviour. The data will be used fnr rnmparing the chosen...

Roundabouts with Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

Roundabouts have already been used in Belgium for several years to regulate traffic at major road intersections. The surfaces at roundabouts are particularly subject to tangential stresses that result from centrifugal forces and from the overload on the outside wheels by the more or less significant tilting of the vehicles...
