Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance
|
Item Code: LT307
Date of Publication: 2008
Price: $135.00
|
|
Addressing the interactions between the different design and construction variables and techniques, this book illustrates best practices for constructing economical, long life concrete pavements. The author, an associate professor at Cleveland State University, is the former chairman of American Concrete Institute Committee 325 on Concrete Pavements and a founding member of Committee 327 on Roller Compacted Concrete Pavements and Committee 522 Pervious Concrete.
Delatte lays the book out in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined. The desired performance and behavior parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are outlined and the most suitable concrete proportions determined. The design can be completed, and then the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable product are carried out. Although the focus reflects highways as the most common application, special features of airport, industrial, and light duty pavements are also addressed.
Use is made of modeling and performance tools such as HIPERPAV and LTPP to illustrate behavior and performance, along with some case studies. As concrete pavements are more complex than they seem, and the costs of mistakes or of over-design can be high, this is a valuable book for engineers in both the public and private sectors.

Full-Depth Reclamation using Portland Cement: A Study of Long-Term Performance
|
Item Code: SR016
Date of Publication: 2007
Price: $25.00
|
|
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) with cement is a procedure where failed asphalt pavements are pulverized and reclaimed, using cement to stabilize the recycled materials and create a new pavement base. This cement-stabilized base is then surfaced to provide a new, long-lasting pavement structure. This research report presents the detailed findings of an extensive investigation into the design, construction, testing, and long-term performance of failed flexible pavements rehabilitated through FDR using portland cement. Objectives of this investigation included evaluating the in-service long-term performance of roads rehabilitated using FDR with cement; evaluating the design protocol for field and laboratory investigation for FDR with cement pavements; determining what problems agencies encounter by implementing this rehabilitation technique; and developing guidelines for successful implementation. The actual field performance of more than 75 projects in eight states was evaluated. The average project age was 9 years, and the oldest was 26 years. Overall, the performance of the FDR with cement projects has been excellent. There was no evidence of premature structural failure in any of the sections. In addition, the economics of the process has helped the agencies reconstruct 50-100% more projects than the conventional remove and replace methods.

Guide to Cement-Treated Base (CTB)
|
Item Code: EB236
Date of Publication: 2007
Price: $25.00
|
|
Cement-treated base (CTB) is a general term that applies to a mixture of native soils and/or manufactured aggregates with measured amounts of portland cement and water. The soil is then compacted and cured to form a strong, durable, and frost-resistant paving material. Other descriptions such as soil-cement base, cement-treated aggregate base, or cement-stabilized base are sometimes used.
This document provides a basic guide on the use of cement-treated base (CTB) for pavement applications. It provides an overview on the design and construction of CTB for both mixed-in-place and central plant mixed operations. A suggested construction specification is also included.

Item Code: EB234
Date of Publication: 2008
Price: $25.00
|
|
A revised and current comprehensive guide to Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) using cement. FDR is a roadway rehabilitation process that recycles the materials from deteriorated asphalt pavement, and, with the addition of portland cement, creates a new stabilized base. The addition of a new concrete or bituminous riding surface completes the FDR process, providing a new roadway structure using recycled materials from the failed pavement.
This document describes the step-by-step process, from initial site investigation, to mix design, and construction. A recommended construction specification for FDR is included.

The capability to simultaneously maintain water quality, reduce flooding, increase base flow, and preserve valuable parking areas for the property owner is not easily obtained with other water quality or flood mitigation alternatives. Pervious concrete provides a unique leadership opportunity for stewardship in context-sensitive construction and Low-Impact Development (LID). This document describes the fundamental hydrologic behavior of pervious concrete pavement systems and demonstrates basic design methodologies appropriate for a variety of sites and circumstances.
This 72-page publication provides an overview and discussion of techniques which can be used for hydrological design, considering the inter-relationship between runoff characteristics, material characteristics, and site geometry. It also provides guidelines for the preliminary selection of appropriate pervious concrete characteristics for specific applications and environments. This publication will assist:
1. Civil engineers, landscape architects, and other design professionals for guidance in the selection and design of an appropriate pervious concrete pavement system,
2. Permit granting agencies in the review and acceptance of proposed pervious concrete pavement systems; and
3. Developers and owners interested in a more complete technical review of pervious concrete pavement systems.
