Abstract:
Due to the successful performance of pavement placed almost 12 years ago, the owner of a distribution center decided to again use shrinkage-compensating concrete for the pavement surrounding a warehouse. The new project had some of the largest continuous concrete pavement panels ever placed. Details of the design and construction are presented in this article.
