Abstract:
The City of Phoenix Aviation Department recently extended the Phoenix Airport’s 3.2 mile (5.1 km) long PHX Sky Train® to the airport’s rental car center. Various admixtures helped to keep concrete highly workable and plastic for placing concrete in lifts around the dense reinforcement in the large beams, even at ambient temperatures exceeding 110°F (43°C).
