Modern concrete pavements are based on sophisticated blends of cements, often containing SCM, graded nonreactive aggregates and various admixtures, all of which are aimed at producing the most durable pavement possible. Placement techniques also incorporate the use of various curing compounds, which again are aimed at producing durable concrete. However,...
New Method of Paving Concrete Production
A designer’s perspective on unplanned shrinkage cracking in plain concrete road pavements
Unplanned shrinkage cracking in plain concrete pavements can be prevented by adequate jointing design, material selection and the use of good construction practice. This paper provides a series of notes on the construction challenges and design aspects that need to be considered to avoid unplanned cracking when constructing a new...
Geopolymer and High Volume Fly Ash Concrete for Pavements
Much interest has been shown in improving the sustainable performance of concrete. The use of cement replacement materials and geopolymer concrete offers benefits in terms of reduced carbon footprint and enhanced properties. This paper reviews the properties of geopolymer concrete and concrete with high levels of cement replacement materials relevant...
Use of recycled concrete aggregates in concrete pavements
The quality of the input of fine and coarse aggregates for concrete has an influence on the quality and consistency of the new concrete, and this is particularly applicable when recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are incorporated in the concrete. The overseas literature indicates that where substitutions do not exceed 20%,...
Use of Manufactured Sand in Concrete Pavement
Recent research by the Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA) focused on the selection of manufactured sands for general concrete applications and for concrete road pavements. Selected manufactured sands can be used as part of the fine aggregates to deliver workable concrete for general applications and to provide good skid...
Implications of Using Manufactured Fine Aggregates in Concrete Pavements
The International Center for Aggregates Research has been performing research on the use of manufactured fine aggregates (MFA) for over 15 years. The first issue was the high amounts of micro fines, i.e. minus 75 μmm, that typically exceed the amounts permitted by ASTM C33 in the production of concrete....

ASCP Forum Sydney 6 May, 2019
In the public domain, concrete pavements are often used as the foundation beneath urban design requirements such as granite pavers, precast concrete and concrete block paving. Anna-Carin Brink will highlight basic principles which, if adhered to, will result in relatively maintenance-free pavements where an architect’s dream does not become the...
