SYNTHESIS OF CURRENT AND PROJECTED CONCRETE HIGHWAY TECHNOLOGY

This synthesis reviews the literature in the field of concrete materials, construction practices, and major application areas as applied to highway construction technology. It covers current and projected developments in materials including cements, aggregates, admixtures, fibers, and sealers. Topic areas covered include mix proportioning, batching and transport, placement, finishing, and curing. The applications included here focus on repair and reconstruction including full depth repairs, slab replacement, partial depth repairs, overlays, and recycling. Quality control of concrete including traditional approaches as well as new test methods and quality assurance schemes are discussed. The appendix describes the history of developments in concrete pavement construction in Europe.
