OHIO'S FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH SLIP-FORM PAVING
THE SUCCESSFUL CONSTRUCTION IS DESCRIBED OF APPROXIMATELY 8 MI OF PLAIN CONCRETE PAVEMENT ON THE SECONDARY HIGHWAY SYSTEM IN OHIO USING THE SLIP-FORM TECHNIQUE. DESIGN FEATURES, AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCES, ARE REPORTED. THE PAVEMENT WAS CONSTRUCTED ON EARTH SUBGRADE ON FILLS AND ALL CUTS EXCEPT FOR ROCK CUTS WHERE A 4-IN. SUBBASE WAS SPECIFIED. THE GRADE WAS PREPARED USING AN AUTOMATIC SUBGRADER. CONCRETE WAS PRODUCED IN A CENTRAL MIX PLANT ERECTED ON THE PROJECT AND HAULED TO THE PAVING SITE IN TRUCKS WITH DUMP BODIES. A SLIP-FORM PAVER, WITHOUT AUTOMATIC CONTROLS, WAS USED TO EXTRUDE THE CONCRETE INTO A 24-FT BY 7-IN. CONCRETE PAVEMENT. /AUTHOR/
