ARIZONA'S EXPERIENCE WITH SLIP-FORM PAVING

ARIZONAS FIRST, AND HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL, USE OF THE SLIP- FORM CONCRETE PAVER HAD SEVERAL NOTEWORTHY FEATURES. PROFIL- OGRAPH READINGS AVERAGED 2.5 IN. /MI, ONE 1/2-MI SECTION INDICATED A VALUE OF 1.1 IN. MI BY THE HVEEM PROFILOGRAPH THE SMOOTHEST RIDING CONCRETE PAVEMENT IN THE STATE. THE WIDTH OF THE GUNTERT-ZIMMERMAN MACHINE WAS CHANGED TO PAVE BOTH 24- AND 35-FT WIDE ROADWAYS. POLYETHYLENE STRIP WAS USED FOR ALL LONGITUDINAL JOINTS, IN ONE TEST SECTION IT WAS UNSUCCESSFULLY USED FOR THE SKEWED, TRANSVERSE CONTRACTION JOINT. A CENTRAL PLANT SETUP, USING DUMP TRUCKS AS CONCRETE HAUL UNITS, WAS ESTABLISHED. /AUTHOR/
