Abstract

Full depth repair remains to be the favored pavement restoration method amongst the common rehabilitation and repair activities carried out for concrete pavements. This paper explores the prospects of utilizing behavioral benefits of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with the inclusion of Wollastonite micro-fiber, for repair and rehabilitation of concrete pavements. Wollastonite was included in the study by replacing fine aggregates in concrete mix in proportions 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The mixes were investigated for their behavioral properties including flow ability, resistance to segregation, filling ability and mechanical properties i.e. compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption and hardened density. The rehabilitation prospect of concrete pavements with SCC was studied by conducting a joint repair study on pavement prototypes specially designed and tested for the purpose. It was found that the concrete mix with Wollastonite were more cohesive and workable which is attributed to its acicular structure and lustrous appearance. During the rehabilitation study, prototypes representing a jointed section of concrete pavement were repaired with SCC mixes. The prototypes repaired with SCC having Wollastonite micro-fiber at levels of 10%, 20% and 30% reported better flexural strength in comparison to those repaired with conventional concrete or with plane self-compacting concrete mix.
