This report summarizes an 18-month effort to investigate best practices to incorporate into the materials and construction of concrete sidewalks to mitigate surface scaling damage induced by freeze-thaw cycles in the presence of deicing chemicals. The study involved an in-situ experimental study accompanied by laboratory testing and
Quality Construction Practices Concrete pavements play a primary role in satisfying public demands for better roads. The best design will fail prematurely if construction is not of adequate quality. The number 1 goal in construction is: Build it equal to or better than
Best Practices Guidelines for Self-Consolidating Concrete 4 Tensile Strength prFor a given concrete strength and maturity the tensile strength can normally be assumed to be the same as conventional concrete. This is due to the fact that the paste volume has no significant impact on tensile strength. TEST METHODS FOR EVALUATING SCC

Jun 01, 2020 Short-term construction economy should not be obtained at the expense of long-term durability. If an owner decides that it is less cost effective to wait for milder temperatures before beginning concrete construction, then the minor short-term costs of protecting against cold weather should be strictly adhered to. Neglect of protection against early freezing can cause instant ruin or
