Detecting deleterious fine particles in concrete aggregates and defining their impact
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2010-10)This study examined the types of microfines in aggregates found in northern Wisconsin and their influence on concrete prepared according to Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) specifications. Aggregates were ... -
Early opening of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements to traffic
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-09)This report presents the results of a detailed stress analysis and a field and laboratory test program which investigated the early-age strength gain for selected portland cement concrete (PCC) paving mixtures used in ... -
Effects of aggregate coatings and films on concrete performance
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2003-04)Coarse aggregates containing surface coatings were collected throughout Wisconsin and characterized to determine composition. Based on the results of these tests, a subset of the sample aggregates was selected to further ... -
Effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag in Portland cement concrete : expanded study
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2007-06)This research examined the properties of concrete containing grade 120 slag cement at replacement levels of 0%, 30%, and 50%. The primary concrete properties studied were compressive strength, split-tensile strength, and ... -
Investigation of concrete properties to support implementation of the new AASHTO pavement design guide
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2006-12)This research was conducted to investigate the splitting tensile strength and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of concrete to support implementation of the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide in ...
