Coal Ash Phoenix

Electric Power Research Institute: 9 minutes
Copyright: 1990
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
Describes highway uses for coal ash, a by-product of power plants. Uses include: stabilization of base, shoulders and gravel roads; a concrete additive to reduce cement costs; and embankment fill.

Concrete Pavement Overlays

Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP): 22 minutes
Copyright: 1994
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
Provides general information on bonded and unbonded overlays and general guidelines on which to use. Describes the steps in concrete overlay: Design consideration, preoverlay repair, surface preparation, concrete placement and curing, joint sawing and sealing.

Early Opening of Full-Depth Concrete Repairs

Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP): 10 minutes
Copyright: 1994
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
Discusses consideration for early opening of full-depth concrete repairs. The fast-track construction considers expected congestion and delays, availability of alternate routes, worker safety, and possibility of expediting work, planning, scheduling, evaluating (material curing time).

Full-Depth Repair of Jointed Concrete Pavement

Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP): 18 minutes
Copyright: 1994
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
This video looks at the need for full-depth repair and the five major steps for full-depth repair: determining distresses, field survey, transverse joint design, materials and repair procedure.

Introduction to Rehabilitation of Highway Concrete

Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP): 10 minutes
Copyright: 1994
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
An introduction to the several rehabilitation techniques for concrete. It describes the various failures and recommended types of rehabilitation such as: full-depth repair, partial depth repair, concrete overlay. It also describes bridge deck repairs and several types of concrete mixes to hasten curing and also to provide a more impermeable surface.

Partial Depth Repair of Concrete Pavement

Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP): 15 minutes
Copyright: 1994
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
This video discusses the criteria for using partial-depth repairs. It discusses the materials used and the entire repair process.

Quality Control of Concrete on Site: Four-part Video

Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP): 67 minutes
Copyright: 1994
Language(s): English
Format: VHS 
Parts one and two of this four-part video provide basic quality test information. Parts three and four show more advanced quality testing procedures developed by SHRP in 1992.

Part One 14 minutes
This describes the conventional on-site tests for concrete. It describes sampling methods and testing for temperature and slump.
Part Two 17 minutes
This part describes test methods for air content, unit weight and how to make cylinders and beams for compression and flexural strength tests.
Part Three 13 minutes
This video describes some of the newly developed tests and applications for concrete. In particular, this tape describes testing of delivered concrete for water content and thermal effects evaluation and as-placed concrete for maturity monitoring.
Part Four 18 minutes
This video describes three tests for as-placed concrete. It includes: temperature matched curing, pulse velocity testing and nuclear density testing.
