Behaviour of ultra-thin continuously reinforced concrete pavements under moving axle loads

Kearsley, Elsabe P.; Smit, Martha S. (Taylor and Francis, 2023)

Concrete pavements are typically considered to be rigid pavements and are designed using principles based on the beam-on-elastic support equations as derived by Westergaard in 1926. Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced ...
Implementing capillary pressure control measures to prevent plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete

Deysel, Renier Christiaan; Boshoff, W.P. (Billy); Smit, Martha S. (Elsevier, 2023-09)

Plastic shrinkage cracking occurs when fresh concrete is drying and restrained from deformation, which typically results in cracking. The tensile stresses causing cracking result from the negative capillary pressure that ...
