Use of new road materials (industrial wastes) in mixes for sub-bases

Conf-paper-iscr

The replacement of traditional aggregates (limestone) by crushed blastfurnace slag or LD steelmaking slag in lean concrete and in cement-stabilized hardcore was investigated. The effect of adding fly-ash to mixes of the conventional type was also studied. For mixes of equal composition (in parts by volume) and equal grading (by...

Erosion of concrete pavement sub-bases

Conf-paper-iscr

A special session of the 65th annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, in January 1986, brought together some 50 practitioners and research workers on the theme "Erosion of sub-bases; stepping of slabs and pumping of concrete pavements"; ~he presentation of 3 U.S. papers and two French ones...

Development of the technological concept for roadbases made of hydraulic bound granular materials in the Federal Republic of Germany

Conf-paper-iscr

A number of research projects relating to the cementbound sub-base (CBSB) are currently in progress in the Federal Republic of Germany. Their object is to develop an optimized technological approach with a view to further improvement and even greater economy in the use of this well proven form of construction....

Experiences with sand-cement stabilization in road construction

Conf-paper-iscr

At Hamburg, sand-cement stabilization (SCS) conseructed by the central-mixed (stationary plant) method is successfully used for frose-protection courses. The requirements applicable to these courses, which as a rule are 15 em thick, are based on those for cementbound sub-bases as laid down in the TVT regulations: degree of compaction ~98%,...

Mix design and properties of lean concrete for sub-bases

Conf-paper-iscr

The principal criteria applicable to the mix design and the properties of lean concrete are: - splitting tensile strength in the region of 1.7 MFa and compressive strength in the region of 15 MPa at 28 days; - good erosion resistance; - lowest possible modulus of deformation; - possibility of...

Effect of cement-bound sub-bases on cracking

Conf-paper-iscr

Cement-bound sub-bases (CaSBs) are constructed ~ithout joints. During and after hardening, cracks may be formed in consequence of drying and/or cooling, even if the sub-base has noc yet been subjected co any traffic load. It would be desirable to have no cracks or only very fine ones (capable of eransmieting...
