Download or read book Improved Specifications for Hydraulic Cement Concrete written by Woodrow J. Halstead and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report of a study of the application of statistical concepts to specifications for hydraulic cement concrete as used in highway facilities. It reviews the general problems associated with the application of statistical techniques to hydraulic cement concrete, and discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages to applying such techniques to concrete used in the construction of transportation facilities. During the course of the research reported here, it was found that for the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, contracts for concrete structures generally involved small volumes of concrete, and that the usual frequency of sampling and testing did not provide sufficient test results for establishing specifications based on usually recommended risks to both the contractor and the state. Increases in the frequency of testing to provide the recommended risks would result in excessive increases in costs. Accordingly, procedures for acceptance of concrete on the basis of small-to-medium sample sizes at increased statistical risks, but based on sound engineering judgment, were developed and are included in the report. Also included are complete recommendations for a revised specification for hydraulic cement concrete and a discussion of the statistical significance of the recommended changes. Recommended revisions to the Virginia Test Manual and the Instructions to concrete inspectors that would be needed should the revised specification be accepted are included in the appendices. Also included as an appendix is a resume of practices and requirements in other states using statistical concepts in their specifications for hydraulic cement concrete.
Download or read book Pilot Study of Proposed Revisions to Specifications for Hydraulic Cement Concrete written by Woodrow J. Halstead and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the results of a pilot study of the statistical acceptance procedures proposed for adoption by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. The proposed procedures were recommended in the report titled "Improved Specifications for Hydraulic Cement Concrete" and issued in 1983. This study revealed that practical difficulties would likely be encountered if the initially proposed revisions were adopted. Major problems were noted with the proposed system of random sampling based on a predetermined truckload of material, the definition of the total concrete placed on the contract as a single lot, the initially proposed requirement for average entrained air content, and the present practice of accepting concrete on the basis of its having 85% of the required 28-day strength at 14 days. After study of the findings, a revised proposal has been made for introducing such concepts into the Department's specifications for hydraulic cement concrete. The proposal is that a day's production of hydraulic cement concrete be considered a lot and that three samples per lot normally be taken for judging acceptability. The proper parameters for judging acceptance are based on a computerized statistical program (non-central-t) developed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. These are discussed in the report and are recommended for adoption by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. Where conditions warrant, a larger number of samples per day may be required with consequent reductions in the risks of accepting poor concrete.

Download or read book Evaluation of Continuously Reinforced Hydraulic Cement Concrete Pavement at Virginia s Smart Road written by Hamdi Celik Ozyildirim and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A two-lane continuously reinforced concrete pavement was built in Blacksburg, Virginia, as a part of Virginia's Smart Road. One of the lanes is 12 ft wide, and the other is 14 ft wide. The additional 2 ft was part of the shoulder. Below the concrete pavement is a 3-in-thick open-graded drainage layer (OGDL); one section is asphalt stabilized, and the other section is cement stabilized. The concrete pavement was cured by a curing compound except that the 12-ft lane was also covered with plastic and straw because of concerns with cold ambient temperature. The objective of this project was to determine the material properties of the concrete, instrument the pavement, monitor construction practices, and monitor the performance of the pavement over 4 years. The concrete had high early strength, low permeability, and high shrinkage. The average crack spacing was more than 3 ft, indicating satisfactory performance. In general, cracks were wider when they were further apart, but the differences in crack spacing and width were variable and small in some cases and could not be correlated after 4 years. The end sections had less cracking than the interior sections of the pavement. There were fewer cracks and more space between cracks in the 12-ft lane and fewer cracks in the pavement over the asphalt-stabilized OGDL. This was attributed to a better cure in the 12-ft lane and to a lower friction over the asphalt-stabilized base. No changes to the specifications were recommended as a result of the study findings.
