Optimization of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Slip-Form Pavement
The concrete currently used in the slip-form paving process is a low slump concrete that requires both internal and external vibration in order to achieve satisfactory compaction. The use of a vibrator fingers for the internal vibration often leads to trails on the surface of the pavement and to segregation around the trails, which cause durability issues. The objective of this project is to overcome these problems by designing a concrete that would not require the use of internal vibrators. The concrete should be workable enough for machine placement, compactable with a minimum of energy and hold its shape for the slip-form process.
