COMPARISON OF CONCRETES USED IN NAVY AIRFIELD POWER CHECK FACILITIES,

Abstract

The in-service performance of 16 concrete power-check facilities located at Navy and Marine Corps air stations in the Eastern, Southern, and Western areas of the United States was reviewed, evaluated and related to National Bureau of Standards tests made at the time the facilities were constructed and described in contract reports to determine which type of pavement is the best for power check facilities and if revisions to the specifications are necessary. The facilities used concrete containing dense aggregate and two varieties of lightweight aggregate concrete. Some of the latter consisted of concrete made with portland cement, and some contained high-alumina cement. (Author)
