PacTrans Technology Transfer Success Story 2018 #11: Changing the Paradigm of Performance Evaluation of Transportation Infrastructure through the use of Formation Factor of Concrete
One of the most important steps for producing high quality concrete is to specify its performance using a quantifiable metric that can also be monitored in quality control and quality assurance of protocols. Recently, a conceptual specification has been provisionally approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for use in concrete pavements with potential extension to concrete bridge decks. Unlike traditional workability and strength based specifications, this new specification also deals with issues of salt damage, freeze-thaw, corrosion and volume change. Read More
