Monograph

This issue contains 17 papers concerning concrete materials. Specific topics covered are as follows: capillary pressure monitoring in plastic concrete for controlling early-age shrinkage cracking; volume stability and cracking potential of prebagged, cement-based nonshrink grouts for field-cast connections; surface texture measurements of crack surface to establish joint shear stiffness; mixture design for minimizing cement content in pavement concrete; nanoconcrete for rigid pavements; and a kinetic study of photocatalytic degradation of nitrogen monoxide with titanium dioxide nanoparticles in concrete pavements. The issue also covers improved bridge parapet designs; an aggregate avoidance index for evaluating recycled aggregate concrete; identifying zero-stress time for jointed plain concrete pavements; observed variability in cylinder and core strength from Federal Highway Administration highway materials engineering course; and freeze and thaw behavior in cementitious materials exposed to sodium chloride salt. Additional topics include insulation to prevent early-age cracking in mass concrete footings; the effect of fiber-reinforced polymer wrapping on concrete chloride penetrations and concrete cover; the influence of slag aggregate production on its potential for use in internal curing; performance of Portland limestone cements; high-volume fly ash concrete for rigid pavements; and fracture properties of roller-compacted concrete with virgin and recycled aggregates.
