Abstract:

In July 2024, GeoStabilization International used shotcrete for the construction of a soil nail wall for a large data center in Atlanta, GA, USA. To enhance efficiency, GeoStabilization implemented innovative techniques, including the use of a shotcrete robot. This proved especially effective during the installation of the initial structural layer of the wall.

Abstract:

Precompression is included in service stress analyses of post-tensioned (PT) members but is ignored in flexural strength calculations. With the goal of reassuring practicing engineers that restraint cracking should not be a concern with respect to flexural strength, the authors explain why PT flexural members have significantly greater capacity than predicted by typical calculations.

Abstract:

Bleeding and finishing issues can result in an increased risk of concrete scaling. This risk may be further increased when supplementary cementitious materials and Type IL cement are used. This article focuses on petrographic examination of scaled flatwork constructed of concrete containing Type IL cement and fly ash, and Type IL cement and slag cement.

Abstract:

To reduce costs and minimize construction schedules for the recent light rail extension in the Phoenix, AZ, USA metropolitan area, track slabs and platform plinths were constructed using fiber-reinforced concrete instead of traditional steel-reinforced concrete. For every concrete placement, the use of fiber-reinforced concrete is estimated to have saved at least 1 to 2 days of labor.
