Airfield Pavement Deicing with Conductive Concrete Overlay
Conductive concrete is a cementitious admixture containing a certain volumetric ratio of electrically conductive materials to attain high and stable electrical conductivity. Due to its electrical resistance, a thin overlay of conductive concrete can generate enough heat to prevent ice formation when energized by AC power. Under a research sponsored by Nebraska Department of Roads, Yehia and Tua...
متن کاملAre Deicing Salts Necessary to Promote Scaling in Concrete?
The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of the material parameters such as permeability, thermal diffusivity, and pore size distribution on the mechanical behavior of cementitious structures submitted to frost action, such as surface scaling. An experimental device, in which a cement paste specimen is exposed to freezing-thawing cycles under a thermal gradient, has been...
متن کاملMeasuring and Analyzing Pavement Texture Concrete Pavement Surface Characteristics Program
Introduction Pavement texture is defined by the irregularities on a pavement surface that deviate from an ideal, perfectly flat surface. As shown in Figure 1, the World Road Association (PIARC) has established standard categories of texture, classified by wavelength. These categories include microtexture (wavelengths up to 0.5 mm), macrotexture (0.5 to 50 mm), megatexture (50 to 500 mm), and ro...
متن کاملPerformance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate
In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...
متن کاملConcrete Block Pavement for Low Volume Roads
Concrete block pavement (CBP) is a durable pavement for carrying light as well as heavy loads, and it is being used widely for construction of city streets, parking places, gas stations, container stacking yards, residential areas and low volume roads. This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation on structural behaviour of CBP. Plate load and Accelerated Pavement tests were ca...
