Reducing cementitious paste volume of slipformed pavement concrete by blending aggregates
A high cementitious paste volume (CPV) can increase the early cracking tendency of the concrete and reduce the durability of concrete pavement. This study investigated the effects of minimized CPV in slipformed pavement concrete (SPC) with blended aggregates (BA). Based on the laboratory results, the performance of pavement concrete with different CPV was evaluated. The CPV of standard SPC can be reduced to 25.0% without affecting its properties as evaluated by compressive strength, drying shrinkage and surface resistivity tests However, the CPV of SPC with optimized aggregate gradation (OAG) using BA technique can be further reduced to 22.5% with satisfactory properties. The SPC mixes with OAG was noted to have better potential performance as a pavement concrete. SPC concrete using Portland limestone cement can give similar properties as those of the conventional concrete using ordinary Portland cement.
