DESIGN OF LOW VOLUME CONCRETE ROADS

This paper provides an overview of the development of the slipform method of roadway paving in Iowa, the state in which this process had its origins in the middle 1940s. Growth in the manufacture of slipform paving equipment since the late 1950s is described, and cost issues are related. Slipform paving practices and design specifications are discussed in detail.
