PCC - TESTING


The challenge in PCC testing is to develop physical tests that can satisfactorily characterize key PCC performance parameters and the nature of their change throughout the life of a pavement.  These key parameters are:

·  Workability.  This parameter, typically measured by slump, is indicative of fresh concrete rheology.
.  Strength : This parameter is related to a rigid pavement's ability to support loads.  Flexural Strength is commonly used in design and then correlated to Compressive Strength for use in field tests.
· Durability :  Several tests can be conducted to determine susceptibility to freeze-thaw or Chemical attack damage.
·       Early Age Behavior:  HIPERPAV, a software program, can be used to predict early-age PCC behavior.
