| Abstract: |
The objectives of this study are (1) to develop concrete mixes that have low shrinkage and high flexural strength. (2) to assess aggregate particle shape using a video grader; (3) to determine the material properties of high-performance concrete, including compressive strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion, permeability, and drying shrinkage; (4) to continuously monitor the speed of the paver and the frequency of the vibrators; (5) and to investigate the effect of an increased amount of steel on cracking. |
