Description
This report covers the state of the art of accelerated-concrete paving techniques, often referred to as "fast-track" concrete paving. Accelerated-concrete paving techniques are appropriate for roadways, airfield, and other paved surfaces where quick access is required. Considerations include planning, concrete materials and properties, jointing and joint sealing, curing and temperature control, concrete strength testing, and opening-to-traffic criteria. Applications and uses of accelerated-concrete paving are discussed.
Keywords: accelerated paving; airports; admixtures; aggregates; cement; construction; concrete pavement; curing; fast-track paving; gradation; highways; intersections; joint sealing compound; jointing; nondestructive strength testing; specifications; streets; temperature; opening-to-traffic.
