First Application of a Concrete Inlay on a Bitumen Paved Motorway in Belgium

Conf-paper-iscr

The motorway A7, also called the "Motorway of Wallonia", was opened to traffic in December 1970. In the vicinity of Mons this motorway carries a very high volume of heavy traffic, which is still increasing. The right-hand (slow) lane is subject to severe rutting, which has affected the deeper layers....

The Reuse of Old Pitch Containing Asphalt in Cement Bound Base Courses Depending on the Level of Harmful Substances

Conf-paper-iscr

Large quantities of old asphalt containing varying admixtures of tar/pitch are produced during the renewal of asphalt roads. These pitches contain environmentally relevant substances such as pnlyr.yr.lic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phenols which must not be allowed to leach out into the ground water. The intention is to bind the...

Slip Formed MaIa Slotted Gutter

Conf-paper-iscr

"MAIA" is a slotted driveable gutter used for the drainage of motorways and airports. T.S.S. adapted the SATUJO slotted gutter method to be realized on a slipform paver. The new concept is based on the insertion of an air inflated reusable flexible tube on a slipform paver which enables the...

New Standards in the Construction of Aircraft Movement Areas

Conf-paper-iscr

Airport runways and other aircraft movement areas are among today's most important infrastructure elements. The paper gives an introduction to general aspects of design and construction of concrete airport pavements, emphasizing the advantages of the two-course "wet on wet" placement technique. The above mentioned aspects are illustrated by the description...

Noice Reducing Exposed Aggregate Surfaces – Experience and Recommendations

Conf-paper-iscr

In 1990 a technique for building pavements with a noice reducing concrete surface was developed in Austria. The top layer contains aggretate with 8 mm maximum size. The surface is sprayed with a retarder and brushed the next day to expose the aggregate. This technique has been used on 120...

New Concrete Pavement Structures in the Revision of the French Catalogue of New Pavements and in the Technical Guide of Overlays

Conf-paper-iscr

The documents for conception and design of new and reinforcement works on the French national road network were updated in 1988to take into account new pavement designs and techniques: dowelled slabs, continuously reinforced concrete, thick slabs on porous course, cement processed materials subbases. The article explains: - the development of...

Setting New Standards in the Construction of Flight Operation Areas in MUC 2

Conf-paper-iscr

The construction of the International Airport MUC 2 and especiallyof the flight operation areas in -for road designers- gigantic dimensions and short time-limit was a unique chance for the ex-perts to search for and find newstandards for tech-nique, economy and quality by an innovative fur-ther development of proven equipment and...

Porous Urban Pavements in Cement Concrete

Conf-paper-iscr

Questions regarding the environment are being particularly felt in certain countries, and noise con-trol requirements have led to the development ofthin free draining materials able to limit tirepavement contact noise.We shallbe dealingherenotwith a thin free draining pavement structure, butwith a porous concrete pavement of 40 cm thick-ness. Theoretical studies have...

Dynamic Deflection Measurement on Rigid Payements Using the Falling Weight Deflectometer

Conf-paper-iscr

Deflection caused by a load is an important measure for the bearing capacity of rigid pavements, too. For this reason the deflection on a variety of sections with different constructions has been measured in the Federal Republic of Germany. For these measurements the «Falling Weight Deflectometen> was used, developed by...
