Development of a Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement Reinforced with Continuous Steel Bars

Conf-paper-iscr

A roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) reinforced with continuous steel bars was recently developed at the New Tokyo International Airport. The construction is fast and the effectiveness of load transfer at cracked sections of the continuously reinforced concrete pavement is high. This RCCP was built in two layers. Steel bars...

Reconstruction of Low Volume Roads in Austria Using Cement Stabilization Mixed in Place

Conf-paper-iscr

In view of the growing need for economic methods for rural road rehabilitation and reconstruction the use of cement stabilization mixed in place with existing pavement materials (recycling of milled material) is considered to be an economic and resource-saving approach. This paper describes the preparatory works required (inspection of the...

Roller Compacted Concrete as an Efficient Material for Road Pavement Construction

Conf-paper-iscr

A study has been conducted in order to determine the influence of a wide range of factors on the properties of roller compacted concrete (RCC): coarse aggregate type and content, addition of fly ash, chemical admixtures type and quantity, technologies of manufacturing and compaction, tranportation time and concrete curing. The...

Concrete Recycling in Belgian Road Construction – Applications in Cement Bound Road Bases and Surfacings

Conf-paper-iscr

For some years now the interest for the environment together with economic reasons, improvements of crushing plants and the definition of acceptance criteria have led in Belgium to an increased use of crushed concrete aggregate and sand in cement bound bases. Recent official circulars and tender specifications allow for the...

The Influence of Composition and Compaction on the Properties of Roller Compactcd Concrete

Conf-paper-iscr

In many countries rullw cumpactod concrete (RCC) proved to be a success as a construction method for highly stressed industrial floors, for concrete pavements, subbases for concrete pavements and asphalt surfaces. Since 1993 the Research, Development and Consulting Department of tho Heidelberger Zement AG is attended with a research project...

New from Old – Recycling Concrete Pavements

Conf-paper-iscr

About 50% (150 km) nf the ennerete pavement on the motorway Al Vienna-Salzburg are older than 30 years and need reconstruction: The recycling method developed in 1 989/90 is based on the principle of making new from old. The old concrete pavement is used as a quarry and provides the...

Some Characteristics of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Conf-paper-iscr

A wide experimental campaign was carried out on concretes with the addition of polypropylene fibers. This way it was possible to obtain useful information on the morphological structure, on the trend in time of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and impact strength, and on the influence on these trends of...

A New Technique for Preckracking Materials Treated with Hydraulic Binders

Conf-paper-iscr

Precracking techniques are used for materials treated with hydraulic binders in order to restrict the effect of shrinkage cracks on the pavement performance. After developing a precracking technique for port platform stwctures in 1984, Via france recently received and developed a new technique for road pavements. This technique applies to...

Upgrading of Porphyry 04 Crushed Stone Sand By Stabilization with Cement

Conf-paper-iscr

One way of upgrading crushed stone sand is to add cement, for the purpose of using it in a foundation layer. The authors report on their experience with stabilization by means of cement and with the use of the material in the foundation of a motorway work site. The previous...

In Situ Capping Layers Treatment with the Faquir Equipment

Conf-paper-iscr

The treatment of subgrades with hydraulic binders is designed to increase the bearing capacity of the roadbed significantly. It thus offers a better support to the worksite traffic and the subgrade can be taken into account in the overall structural design of the pavement. The economic stakes are thus evident....

Elastomer Profiles for Concrete Roads

Conf-paper-iscr

Since 1985 more and more elastomer prnfiles MA iiced for longitudinal and transverse joints of German highways to get a watertight filler between the concrete slabs. Specially designed highway profiles are compression seals that can be installed even under wet and cold weather conditions. They can follow very large joint...

The Utilization of Tarbearing Scarified Road Materials with Special Hydraulic Binders

Conf-paper-iscr

The utilization of tarbearing scarified road materials, which are charged with phenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) to a considerable extent, is becoming a problem of increasing urgency in Germany. This paper deals with the consolidation of tarbearing scarified road materials with a special hydraulic binder, which due to its...
