Abstract |
|
Road transportation is undoubtedly the lifeline of the nation and its development is a crucial concern. The traditional bituminous pavements and their needs for continuous maintenance and rehabilitation operations points towards the scope for cement concrete pavements. There are several advantages of cement concrete pavements over bituminous pavements. But, there are also some problems outcomes with concrete pavement like micro-shrinkage, cracking, and low water permeability. To overcome this kind of problems, the secondary construction material “Recron-3S†is preferable to add in concrete for making stronger and batter road pavement. Present paper focuses how the compressive and flexural strength of the Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) increases using Recron-3S fiber with compression test of the concrete. The testing results of the prepared sample cube with Recron-3S has compared with other samples which is without the mixture of the Recron-3S. |
