  1. FAA Airport PavementTechnology Program • National Airport Pavement Test Facility, FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City, New Jersey, U.S.A. • New PCC Test Items • Pavement Thickness Design Software • www.airporttech.tc.faa.gov 1

  2. New Concrete Mix Design • 5.2 MPa (750 psi) or lower flexural strength to maximize thickness and minimize tendency for corner cracking due to curl (minimum 4.1 MPa (600 psi)). • Final mix has 50 percent cement replacement with flyash. 2

  3. Single Test Slab Placement • Gain experience with high volume flyash mix placement and finishing. • Measure curling of cured slab. • Further refine instrument installation from that done in previous test strip. • Monitor procedures for test item curing and early age behavior. • Develop field curing methods. 3

  4. Placing Test Slab Finished Slab 4

  5. Field Curing of Slab, Beams and Cylinders • Soaker hoses • Burlap • Plastic • Automatic timer for water • Wet cure for 28 days 5

  8. Results from Test Slab • Experience in placing the high flyash concrete mix. • Instrumentation installation procedures satisfactory. • Low heat of hydration with fairly uniform temperature profile during first 24 hours. • Curling minimal during 28-day cure. • Curling significant after removal of burlap and during drying period. 8

  9. Remaining Plans for CC2 • Continue monitoring test slab behavior. • Place three concrete test items on 8 CBR subgrade. • One on grade (concrete placed by 1/30/04). • One on aggregate subbase (concrete placed by 1/30/04). • One on econocrete subbase (concrete placed by 3/12/04). • Subgrade and support placement complete. • Instrumentation complete and installed. 9

  10. CC2 Test Objectives • Compare life and performance for 4-wheel and 6-wheel traffic. • Compare life and performance for three different support conditions. • Obtain data on SCI versus repetitions to failure. • Compare interior and edge stresses. • Measure shrinking/warping. 10
