Dynamic- and Static-Elastic Moduli and Strength Properties of Early-Age Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Mixtures
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 32, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper investigates the development of compressive strength (), flexural strength (), and static elastic modulus () in relation to the dynamic modulus () for portland concrete cement (PCC) pavement and patch mixtures. The study in this paper was motivated by the need to establish the less commonly known relationship in comparison with the more established models. A total of 399 cylinders and 144 beams were cast and cured under laboratory (23°C) and cold (7.22°C) regimes. Experiments were conducted at concrete ages ranging from 12 h to 28 days. Cylinder specimens were subjected to , , and transverse dynamic modulus () tests. Beam specimens were subjected to , transverse (), and longitudinal () dynamic modulus tests. Early opening to traffic (EOT) concrete strength criteria were accurately predicted as most and estimates fell within 10% of relative error when respectively using and . Overall, the normalized development of and relationships reveals distinct growth trends as developed at a higher power factor.
