Guide for Concrete Highway Bridge Deck Construction 3

Guide for Concrete Highway Bridge Deck Construction

Description The deck of a highway bridge serves both structural andfunctional purposes for the structure. As a structuralcomponent, it provides the load path to safely transfer forcesfrom wheel loads to the supporting superstructure and substructure elements. It may also contribute, throughcomposite action, to the performance of primary super structure components. Equally, the construction and condition

Guide for the Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots 7

Guide for the Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots

Description Concrete parking lots have many similarities to other typesof concrete pavement. On the other hand, parking lots differfrom other pavements in that most of the area is intended forstorage of vehicles and other goods rather than for movementof vehicles. The design of concrete parking lots should follow enerally accepted procedures for concrete pavements asoutlined

Guide to Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements 10

Guide to Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements

Description Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is an economical, fast construction candidate for many pavement applications. Because of its relatively coarse surface, RCC has tradition-ally been used for pavements carrying heavy loads in low-speed areas. In recent years, however, its use in commercial areas and for local streets and highways is increasing. This guide is largely based
