About the research
Abstract:
This analysis will perform focused activities under the Concrete Pavement Road Map (CP Road map) Track 1, Mix Design and Analysis. These activities include the need for verification tests for materials and mixtures, relationships and models that predict mixture performance, guides and specifications that can help users make good decisions, and communication and education tools that help practitioners stay abreast of innovations being developed.
