Greatly Increased Use of Fly Ash in Hydraulic Cement Concrete for Pavement Layers and Transportation Structures
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-09-0020
Project Abstract:
The research will examine: (1) material compatibility; (2) prediction methods for property development; (3) temperature and strength development management; (4) internal and external curing; (5) reducing early-age cracking; and (6) improving freezing/scaling durability. Carefully controlled large-scale test sections will be prepared to evaluate the proposed solutions from each phase. This large-scale testing will be unique due to the ability to carefully establish and monitor the environment in which the high-volume, fly-ash concrete is placed while monitoring and testing these structures. The proposal also suggests the use of a short course that will be made available by means of streaming video or DVD for use in classrooms and continuing education courses.
Goals:
The key project objective is to improve understanding of infrastructure materials, specifically how to use higher fly-ash amounts in concrete and obtain the performance needed for long-lasting concrete highway pavements and structures.
