Cement treated asphalt mixtures (CTAM), which are composed of an asphalt mixture and cement milk injected into voids of the asphalt mixture, were studied for use as a fast overlay material for airport pavements. The cement milk must have adequate fluidity for about 30 minutes and must develop a flexural...
Development of Cement Treated Asphalt Mixtures for Pavement Rehabilitation
High-Quality Concrete with Recycled Aggregates
New laboratory and field investigations showed that it is possible to achieve durable concrete by using recycled aggregate above 4 mm from old pavements with cracks but no frost- or concrete structure deterioration. The concrete compressive and tensile strengths were slightly higher and the cracking sensitivity was slightly lower for...
Suitability of Superplasticized Recycled Aggregate Concrete in Road Construction
Piubably, in the years to come, the use of recycled aggregates in concrete may become the need of the day. This is becasue of the nonavailability of natural aggregates in some urban areas. Also, the enviromental laws may force for the closing down of aggregate plants. Apart from this, in...
Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement Using Recycled Concrete Aggregate
Usage of recycled concrete aggregates produced from crushed demolished concrete has been limited due to its higher cost and the difficulty caused from its major ingredients, cement mortar, and by-product powder. However, the exhaustion of aggregate resources and increase demand of preserving the natural environment require developing an effective application...
Renovation of an Apron in Front of a Hangar on Brussels National Airport Using Quick-Setting Concrete
The pavement of the apron on Brussels National Airport, which was constructed in the early sixties, was forming cracks. Given that fragments of concrete could in time be a danger to the aircraft engines, a thorough renovation of the apron was imperative. The distinctive feature of the site is that...
On the Use of Perious Cement Concrete for Wearing Courses and Its Efficiency Against the Noise Emitted by Heavy Trucks
The experiment presented here has been carried out within the context of a partnership research contract signed between the Road Directorate (French Ministry of Civil Equipment) and the GTM Construction Company. The autors are thanking both partners, and the following organizations or companies, which contributed with equal success to the...
Use of Superplasticized Fiber Reinforced Concrete in the Construction of Pavements
Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) by itself has opened up a new era in the field of Civil Engineering. FRC has given altogether a new dimension to concrete technology. It is even difficult to imagine that just the addition of fibres into concrete mass can change the entire properties of concrete....
Pharmaceutical Waste
Studies are being carried out on the influence of pharmaceutical waste at the Ukrainian University of Transportation, a especially the liquid waste on the physicomechanical 3roperties of cement concrete
Fundamental Study on Bonded Ultrathin Whitetopping
Ultra thin white topping is a rehabilitation technique in which thin concrete overlay is placed on asphalt pavement in distress, and this work technique has been under research in Europe, USA and other countries. In this study, a small model experiment was conducted to see its applicability to the roads...
Fibre Reinforced Concrete Roads Surfaced with Concrete Paving Stones
The paper describes enhanced specifications for concrete block roads suitable for heavy channelised traffic in city centres. It describes two case studies and shows how bedding sand and fibre reinforced concrete roadbases can be specified to ensure zero rutting and a cost effective solution.
Recycling with Cement on the Motorway Salzburg-Vienna
A recycling concept has been used since 1991 for reconstructing 120 km of carriageway on the concrete motorway Salzburg - Vienna: The old concrete is crushed and the coarse material used as the aggregate for the new concrete pavement. The fine fraction is added to the old granular subbase thus...
Processes of Structure Formation and Properties of Cement Stone with Polymer Additives and Disperse Reinforcement for the Repairs of Road Pavements
The addition of special polymer additives and dispersc reinforcement can improve the physicomechanical properties of cement stone being used in road construction.
