Abstract: This paper reviews some of the past instrumentation and performance measuring used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop its rigid‐pavement design procedures, and it will consider two areas where future studies ...

Abstract: This article focuses on a laboratory materials-testing program that was aimed at: (1) identifying candidate shrinkage-compensating concrete (SCC) mixture designs for possible later field evaluations; and (2) performing ...

Abstract: Because drying shrinkage cracking is a major source of bridge deck cracking, and because shrinkage compensating concrete (SCC) is known to substantially reduce shrinkage cracking, the use of SCC should be closely examined ...
