Book A Study on Performance of Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement in Accelerated Pavement Tests

Download or read book A Study on Performance of Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement in Accelerated Pavement Tests written by Chamroeun Chhorn and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roller-compacted concrete pavement, or RCCP, is well-known for its low cost and fast construction. Through compaction, the friction induced by aggregate interlock provides additional load carry capacity at the beginning of construction. Although its construction procedure is quite different from typical conventional concrete pavement, RCCP consists of the same basic ingredients as conventional concrete pavement. The characteristics of RCCP make it an excellent alternative for port, intermodal, street, and highway applications. Even though this pavement has been used for decades, research on and experiences in its application are still limited, particularly in Korea. In order to evaluate the performance of RCCP, two phases of an accelerated pavement test were conducted. In Phase One, the performance of RCCP at two different strengths (35.6 and 30.4 MPa) is evaluated. In Phase Two, the performance of RCCP with different thicknesses (5, 7.5, and 10 cm) is investigated. The number of load repetitions to fatigue crack occurrence in each section is compared to the estimated fatigue failure determined from the fatigue equation for RCCP. The crack development in each section is compared to the crack model for jointed plain concrete pavement. Overall, it is confirmed that RCCP has equal or better performance compared to the estimation in terms of fatigue cracking.

Book Modern Traffic Engineering in the System Approach to the Development of Traffic Networks

Download or read book Modern Traffic Engineering in the System Approach to the Development of Traffic Networks written by Elżbieta Macioszek and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a number of guidelines that are particularly useful in the context of decisions related to system-approach-based modern traffic engineering for the development of transport networks. Including practical examples and describing decision-making support systems it provides valuable insights for those seeking solutions to contemporary transport system problems on a daily basis, such as professional working for local authorities involved in planning urban and regional traffic development strategies as well as representatives of business and industry directly involved in implementing traffic engineering solutions. The guidelines provided enable readers to address problems in a timely manner and simplify the choice of appropriate strategies (including those connected with the relation between pedestrians and vehicle traffic flows, IT development in freight transport, safety issues related to accidents in road tunnels, but also open areas, like roundabouts and crossings). Furthermore, since the book also examines new theoretical-model approaches (including the model of arrival time distribution forming in a dense vehicle flow, the methodological basis of modelling and optimization of transport processes in the interaction of railways and maritime transport, traffic flow surveys and measurements, transport behaviour patterns, human factors in traffic engineering, and road condition modelling), it also appeals to researches and scientists studying these problems. This book features selected papers submitted to and presented at the 16th Scientific and Technical Conference Transport Systems Theory and Practice organized by the Department of Transport Systems and Traffic Engineering at the Faculty of Transport of the Silesian University of Technology. The conference was held on 16–18 September 2019 in Katowice (Poland), more details at www.TSTP.polsl.pl.

Book Investigation of Roller Compacted Concrete for Use in Pavements in Virginia

Download or read book Investigation of Roller Compacted Concrete for Use in Pavements in Virginia written by M. Shabbir Hossain and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a stiff mixture of aggregate, cementitious materials, and water with zero slump. RCC is consolidated or compacted in the fresh state by use of a roller with or without vibration. RCC typically is placed with asphalt paving equipment in thicknesses of 4 to 8 in for pavement application. RCC has gained the attention of the paving industry in recent years because of its history of low cost, rapid construction, and durable performance. The Virginia Transportation Research Council conducted this laboratory study to gain familiarity with RCC technology and to develop guidelines for its use in the field. RCC mixtures were successfully produced in the laboratory using locally available materials, and their properties were measured. These mixtures achieved compressive strengths around 5,000 psi in 28 days and had properties similar to those of conventional concrete in terms of compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and splitting tensile strength. A special provision was developed and used in the two field projects. The special provision was subsequently modified based on the field experience and is provided in the Appendix. VDOT should implement the RCC specification developed in this study for regular VDOT use of RCC. Use of RCC should be considered in future field applications, particularly where fast construction of rigid (concrete) pavement is needed; an example of such an area would carry heavily loaded, slow-moving vehicles such as at intersections and access roads to truck or bus parking areas. VDOT should annually monitor the long-term performance of the two constructed RCC projects reviewed in this study over a period of at least 10 years. Evaluations should document joint efficiencies for load transfer (through testing with the falling weight deflectometer), any visual evidence of deterioration of asphalt at joints, and any other general signs of pavement distress that may occur.

Book Fatigue Behavior of Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement Based on Full Scale Fatigue Test

Download or read book Fatigue Behavior of Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement Based on Full Scale Fatigue Test written by Jun Young Park and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) has been used widely for construction of pavements. The strength of RCC Pavement (RCCP) can be obtained from not only hydration of binder but also the aggregate interlock resulting from roller compaction. For this reason, RCCP normally achieves strengths greater than conventional concrete pavement with similar cement content. Even though RCCP can provide good structural performance, it has been difficult to verify its long-term performance through actual field construction. Therefore, this study evaluated the fatigue behavior using 1 by 1-m dimensional RCC slab specimens obtained in the field in order to take into consideration field variability. A set of numerical analyses indicated that the failure modes of the specimens for a given loading condition appeared to be four-directional bottom-up cracks. A fatigue equation was developed based on the relationship between the stress level and the number of load repetitions.
