Shrinkage-Compensating Cement for Airport Pavement. Phase 3. Fibrous Concretes. Addendum

摘要

Details of a research study on shrinkage-compensating fibrous concrete for airport pavements are presented. A total of 77 slab-type prisms 1 sq ft and 4, 6, and 8 in. thick were subjected to shrinkage in 50% RH. Concrete mixes containing 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 bags of shrinkage-compensating cement were used in the study. Fly ash was also used for better workability and later added strength. Fiber contents used were 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% by volume of the concrete. Residual concrete compressive stresses are used as a basis for recommendation of transverse joint spacing of 150 ft for expansive fibrous concrete overlays. (Author)
