Abstract:
Nano-modified fly ash concrete was recently used for partial-depth repair of transverse joints located on a major urban arterial road in Winnipeg, Canada. The project was the first field trial of the material, and it successfully demonstrated mixing, placement, and testing procedures as well as indicated potential for long-term performance.
