Abstract:
Presented in this paper are the results from a laboratory study of a device that simulates roller-compacted concrete placement. The laboratory setup uses a novel device that consolidates concrete layers, realistically simulating site conditions, including several curing conditions. Laboratory tests results were compared to field results obtained at the Dona Francisca Hydro Power Plant, Brazil. Statistical methods were then used to analyze the correlation between laboratory and field results.
