UPDATE: August 11, 2021:
Due to 1 late paper withdrawal, the original Day 2 of the ASCP2021 program has been modified: Day 2 Now:
• Marc Boere Double Presentation:
“Local Government Path Paving by the Slip Form Method”
“Grated Drain by the Slipform Method”
• Todd Clarke Presentation:”Forrestfield-Airport Link tunnel track slab – macro-synthetic fibre reinforced concrete mix design and construction innovations”: Todd’s presentation will provide an overview of the design and construction of the Forrestfield-Aiport Link tunnel track slab. Specifically, it discusses the change from the original CRCP design to a macro synthetic fibre reinforced concrete (MSFRC) track slab design, including a look at FEA analysis conducted to assess the likelihood, and control, of shrinkage cracking. It then reviews the thorough pre-construction trials that were undertaken to ensure that the mix could be pumped the required distances. Finally, it covers the construction phase of the project, with particular emphasis and detail on the pumping practices and mix characteristics that enabled Australia’s longest pumping of MSFRC to date (effective horizontal distance of 1,970m).
