Abstract:
The procedures used to control and evaluate almost 1 ,OOO,OOO cu yd (765,000 m3) of flexural concrete pavement construction at the world’s second busiest airport are presented and evaluated. The quality control test data are analyzed and compared to published data for other projects. The comparison indicates that the variation in the flexural strength of the pavement concrete placed at Atlanta‘s Hartsfield International Airport was significantly less than for other projects and substantial savings probably accrued to the owner, the City of Atlanta.*
