Abstract:

Cold weather conditions pose constructability challenges when placing and testing to ensure a sound product. The key to successfully executing field work in cold weather conditions is to plan diligently while considering recommendations from ACI 306R-16, “Guide to Cold Weather Concreting.”

Abstract:

This article discusses differences between ordinary portland cement (Type I/II) and portland-limestone cement (Type IL) concrete based on direct observations and reports from concrete finishers. Developing an understanding of how these two concrete types differ from each other can help contractors modify and adapt finishing practices to avoid possible issues during placement.

Abstract:

An improvement project on a 23-mile (37 km) section of Interstate 17 (I-17) in Arizona, USA, includes widening of 15 miles (24 km) of roadways, replacing two bridges, widening of 10 additional bridges, and constructing 8 miles (13 km) of flex lanes. PERI USA provided customized and fully rentable formwork/falsework for concrete construction on this project.

Abstract:

Concrete columns are traditionally produced by placing concrete into a mold or form. Assembling and then removing the formwork takes time and labor; and eventual replacement of the formwork leads to increased material use and transport costs. A new alternative, a permanent three-dimensionally (3-D) printed concrete form in which a core is cast with self-consolidating concrete, was investigated in this project.

Abstract:

There has been a trend toward replacing the production of Type I/II and II/V cements with Type IL cement or portland limestone cement (PLC). PLC exhibits greater variability from source to source which can lead to challenges such as altered initial setting characteristics, variations in compressive strength gain rates, and changes in bleed rates. This necessitates adjustments to mixture designs, placing and finishing techniques, and polishing methods.
