ABOUT THIS FORUM:
In 2018 the Australian Society for Concrete Pavments (ASCP) celebrates ten years of operations! Incorporated on October 2, 2007 and commenced operations in 2008, ASCP held its first Forum and Annual General meeting on March 31, 2008.
In recent times, fly ash as a concrete pavement Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) has become more volatile in supply. David Hocking explores the use of GGBFS (slag cement) as an alternative SCM permitted under RMS 3211 in R82 lean mix and R83 CRCP base mix, and associated differences to the incumbent mix designs. Tom Kovacs will present on the management of the quarry process and product quality.
ASCP is very pleased to have three student research reports:
- Stephen Kelly and Gregory Fazzone will report on their research undertaken into the effect of aggregate type on CRCP and the response to thermal loading on concrete containing different aggregate types.
- Caleb Hayne will report on investigations into the more significant cyclic movements of a concrete pavement and their impact on the pavement’s contact with the subase layer.
- Farzad Moghaddam will report on an experimental study on evaluation of the important characteristics of using run of station fly ash and other SCMs as alternatives to classified fly ash, including the effect of their characteristics on workability, strength and durability.
The afternoon sessions focus on defects, their assessment, and whether or not non-conforming concrete needs to be removed and replaced.
- Laszlo Tamas has collected a wealth of information about pavement defects from DCM and D&C contracts and how this information can be used for quality risk management processes and to reduce rework and minimize defects reoccurring in these high risk areas. He will recommend various management tools that will improve process control and manage the quality risk in these areas.
- Peter Carson questions whether all non-conforming concrete requires R&R. He will present on a case study of where some un-cured concrete was incorporated into the works, discuss assessing strength and durability impacts, and discuss negotiating an appropriate commercial outcome.
- Todd Myers will give a brief overview on the formation of ASCP following the technical presentations, ASCP’s achievements and impact over its first 10 years, and its future possible development.
Refreshments will then be served to celebrate ASCP’s 10th anniversary and to provide more networking time for all delegates!!
