Assessing the Influence of Aggregates and Cement Type on the Properties of Roller-compacted Concrete
Abstract: Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavement is suitable for heavy traffic and harsh environment. In the present investigation, RCC slab samples have been prepared using two types of aggregates (crushed and rounded), and two types of cement binder (ordinary Portland and sulphate resistant). Cubes and beam specimens have been extracted from the slab samples with the aid of diamond saw. Specimens were tested for bulk density, ultrasound pulse velocity, compressive and flexural …

Improving Highway Surface Course Properties of Asphalt Concrete for Heavy Traffic Loading using Mineral Fillers
Abstract: Failure signs seen on both rigid and flexible pavement as distresses is most often instigated by mix properties of the surface due to many factors. Traffic loading, Stripping or raveling is another possible cause of such effects. Stripping occurs when poor adhesion between asphalt cement and aggregate allows the aggregate at the surface to dislodge. As a result, mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete to obtain certain desirable properties has …
