Technical Information Pamphlet on Fibrous Concrete Overlays--Fort Hood Project.
Abstract
The first full-scale nonexperimental steel fibrous concrete placement was completed in March 1974 at Fort Hood, TX. An overlay of 3,175 cu yd of concrete was placed on a Tactical Equipment Park adjacent to Building 9529. The existing pavement consisted of 5 to 7 in. of asphaltic concrete on a stabilized limestone base. The area is a maintenance hardstand for M-60 tanks, M-88 tank retrievers, and other tracked vehicles. Because of the severe wear and rutting caused by the action of the tracks, the flexible pavement surface has required replacement every 3 to 4 yr. Fibrous concrete was selected as a more lasting solution to the problem. This report details the placement procedures used on the Fort Hood project and recommends other suitable techniques. Cost and preliminary performance evaluations of the Fort Hood overlay are presented.
