Shrink Mixed PCC
Shrink mixed PCC is partially mixed in a plant mixer before discharging into a truck mixer. The short mixing period […]
Sawcutting
Sawcutting involves the formation of joints or breaks in a PCC mass (slab) by the use of mechanical cutting tools. […]
Rigid Pavement Truck Types
There are two basic truck types used for mix transport: Truck mixer. Truck mixers, use a truck-mounted rotating drum that […]
Reinforcing Steel Placement
Proper reinforcing steel placement is crucial to CRCP performance. CRCP failures are usually associated with insufficient reinforcement bar lapping, unconsolidated […]
Reinforcing Steel Design
In CRCP and JRCP, reinforcing steel is used to hold tightly together any cracks that may form. Cracks formation depends […]
Reclaimed Concrete Material Used as Coarse Aggregate
In general, adequate PCC pavement can and has been constructed using RCM as a coarse aggregate. Purpose Coarse aggregate in […]
Reclaimed Concrete Material Used as Base or Fill
RCM is most often used as aggregate in a base or subbase course. Although it is generally of high enough […]
Poisson’s Ratio
An important material property used in elastic analysis of pavement systems is Poisson’s ratio. Poisson’s ratio is defined as the […]
PCC Recycling
Reclaimed concrete material (RCM), sometimes referred to as recycled concrete pavement (RCP), is typically generated by rigid pavement rehabilitation or […]
