Status ResolvedSep 28, 2010Plans call for removing and crushing the existing concrete pavement and reusing it for the new road. Over the course of the project, about 107,000 cubic yards of concrete will be removed and around 220,000 cubic yards added, reusing almost everything on the job along the way. Plans are to use the crushed pieces as sub-base gravel for the new road.

Dec 05, 2006For materials contain cement, it is important to take the density test immediately after compaction. When taken later after some hydration has occurred, the density values tend to go down. I've seen this in soil-cement, crushed recycled concrete, and cement-treated base materials. This is particularly true when a nuclear density gage is used.

The first step in making concrete is to prepare the cement. One type of cement, Pordand cement, is considered superior to natural cement because it is stronger, more durable, and of a more consistent quality. To make it, the raw materials are crushed and ground into a fine powder and mixed together.

Recycled aggregates are obtained by crushing concrete and often asphalt. Recycled aggregate comes primarily from Portland cement concrete (PCC) and asphalt concrete (AC). The concrete in its original state generally comes from road rehabilitation, maintenance or demolition, structure demolition, and leftover batches of AC and PCC.

Because of its chemical properties, coal ash can be substituted for cement when making concrete. Encapsulating the coal ash into a solid state minimizes the risk of contaminants leaching into the surrounding soil, water and air. The resulting concrete is also generally used for non-residential infrastructure projects, which further reduces risks to human health.
