Guide to Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavements

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

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

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description ilo failures have alerted design engineers to the danger ofdesigning silos for only static pressures due to stored mate-rial at rest. Those failures have inspired wide-spreadresearch into the variations of pressures and flow of mate-rials. The research thus far has established beyond doubt thatpressures during withdrawal may be significantly higher1-4 orsignificantly lower than those

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Portland-cement concrete, including mixtures with supplementary cementitious materials, does not typically develop its durability, strength, and mechanical characteris-tics without adequate curing. This report on internally cured concrete (ICC) does not presume to change the require-ment for water retention at the curing-affected zone on the concrete surface. The curing methods listed in ACI 308R-01 should
