Advancements in Continuous Concrete Plants

Conf-paper-iscr

Since 1975, the year in which the first continuous concrete plant was introduced for a road construction project, the use of a continuous production process has become more widespread, and even generalized, in France. Applications in other European countries have started to appear, yet do remain in the nascent stages....

An Applied Research Programme on Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

Continuous reinforced concrete (CRC) pavements built in France since this technique was first used in 1983 have pratically all been designed in the same way as pavements consisting of dowelled slabs. Owing to the circular form of the test tracks at fatigue facility of the Laboratoire Central des Ponts et...

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

Conf-paper-iscr

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.

Cracking and Corrosion in Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

As a number of CRC sections were gradually reaching a respectable age, the CRIC undertook an investigation in 1990 on possible corrosion of reinforcements. The close average spacing ot cracks (40 to 60 cm) in sections with 0.85% of steel and a bituminous base course was surprising. On the other...

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Road Bases

Conf-paper-iscr

In the Netherlands Rijkswaterstaat is the authority in charge among others of the construction of highways. The department Limburg of Rijkswaterstaat has chosen a continuously reinforced concrete roadbase for the construction of the 12 km long new highway section between the cities of Venray and Boxmeer. This choice was based...

Investigation on Thermal Stress and Prestress of a 151 m Prestressed Concrete Pavement

Conf-paper-iscr

Few prestressed concrete pavements of more than 100 m length have been constructed in order to avoid the development of cracking at early ages as well as to get design prestress. It the prestressed concrete slab is paved as long as possible, the construction period is shorter and the cost...

Noise Reducing Techniques on Existing Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements on Belgian Motorways

Conf-paper-iscr

Most of the Belgian Motorways, with a concrete pavement, have a deeply grooved concrete surface. Although those wearing courses have a very good skid resistance, there is a great concern about the noise pollution. Not only noise barriers and the porous asphalt overlay, but recently also the grinding are an...

Continuously Reinforced Concrete with Noise Reducing Surface for the Reconstruction of the E31 3 (Al 3) Motorway in Hasselt (Belgium)

Conf-paper-iscr

rFor the reconstruction of the E31 3 motorway which was constructed with concrete slabs round about 1960, CRCP was chosen and since 1983 the exposed aggregate technique was applied there. As the conventional exposed aggregate concrete is still too noisy, in 1992 it was decided to pursue the reconstruction works...
