Paper 1: The pore-size distribution present in some carbonate rocks was determined as part of an investigation concerned with the properties of aggregate which affect the durability of portland cement concrete. Paper 2: 52 concrete aggregates were evaluated by means of the rapid chemical test for potential alkali-aggregate reactivity and the results generally showed good correlation with the data obtained in the mortar bar tests. Paper 3: It is demonstrated that the types of carbonate aggregate from the cedar valley formation in Iowa which have been classed as acceptable or unacceptable on the basis of service records, can also be differentiated on the basis of their reactivity with silica and/or fluoride in aqueous solution. Paper 4: Mixtures of calcium hydroxide, pozzolan, and water were reacted at 100 F for 1 to 6 months, and the reaction products were examined by x-ray diffraction and thermal analysis.
This textbook lays out the state of the art for modeling of asphalt concrete as the major structural component of flexible pavements. The text adopts a pedagogy in which a scientific approach, based on materials science and continuum mechanics, predicts the performance of any configuration of flexible roadways subjected to cyclic loadings. The authors incorporate state-of the-art computational mechanics to predict the evolution of material properties, stresses and strains, and roadway deterioration. Designed specifically for both students and practitioners, the book presents fundamentally complex concepts in a clear and concise way that aids the roadway design community to assimilate the tools for designing sustainable roadways using both traditional and innovative technologies.
The bond between the aggregate and the matrix has a significant effect on the strength, permeability, and durability of concrete. It is probable that the bond is affected by chemical reactions at the surface of the aggregate and by the surface texture or other characteristics of the aggregate. There is no suitable direct method available for measuring this bond between the aggregate and the matrix. The strengths obtained in testing the mortar-making properties of fine aggregates (ASTM Method C 87), the compressive strength of concrete cylinders (ASTM Method C 39), and the flexural strength of concrete (ASTM Method C 78), and visual observations made in connection with these tests provide some information about the bond. High strengths are an indication of a good bond. When it is observed that breaks occur through the aggregate, there is evidence of good bond. When the break occurs around the aggregates and they can be pulled out of their sockets, a poor bond is indicated. The entire problem of the chemical and physical factors that influence the bond between aggregate and matrix is one that deserves further study.
