Since 1980 the technique of pavement construction with thick concrete slabs has been applied on 100 km of the A.26 motorway (Calais - Reims) in northern France. The concrete employed is made with regional limestone aggregates. In order to counteract lowered skidding resistance due to wear of these materials, a...
Surface treatment of limestone concrete slab with the chipping technique
Continuous quality control of high performance concretes for road – within the framework of site supervision – using a new field tested BASIC-MC programme
Introduction and statement 'of problems: This paper closes the gap in concrete highway engineering technology by evaluating complex compactionphenomena and by deriving mathematical relationships between the concrete-technological, dynamic (thixotropic- plasticized) and physical parameters. It is based on the latest experience, e.g., including the construction of the concrete pavements of the...
