industry experiencing this.• Construction inflation • State budget• Federal Highway Reauthorization

– FAST Act signed into law December 2, 2015– 5 year bill that is not fully funded

So, what are we going to do

about it?


Wisconsin, it is time.

#JustFixItWI

"I suggest that this conversation needs to start from the local towns, the local cities. It needs to start regionally. Throughout our state, we need to have a dialogue to get us to a position where we have the support, not just from the people in this room, but from the people in the state of Wisconsin."

Representative John NygrenCo-chair Joint Finance Committee

“We can’t kick the can down the road and longer. I know we’ve said that before – but we can’t."

“I want to hear what our constituents say. I think It’d be very premature to put anything on the table or take anything off.”

Senator Alberta DarlingCo-chair Joint Finance Committee

We have a year…

to tell not one story, but many.

• Register on WisDOT Website



I HAVE A PROCLAMATION TO MAKE !


It is a fun time to be working in the concrete industry ! The

research, technologies and innovations are leading us into an exciting period of

changes.


MORE DURABLE CONCRETE PAVEMENTS


Optimized Aggregate Gradations and Optimized Mixtures

• Better concrete by improving aggregates• Denser concrete• Reduced cementitious• Ride Improvement• Longer lasting• More cost effective?


Optimized Aggregates -Tarantula Curve

Event and Date

What Does Our WI Research Say?

• Optimized mixes are achievable?

• Defining in spec is the key

• 470 lbs. of cementitious looks to be practical minimum

• High-range water reducers can be used


Optimized Mix Design• Reduced

cementitious contents could be the new normal

• Volume of Paste to Volume of Voids Ratio

• New national mix design standard !!!


Quantity and Quality of Air


• The Super Air Meter• The Development

and Research Continues

rectified diffusion?• 2 percent greater• Average difference

between fresh air measurement and hardened air in pavement cores

• Does this explain what is happening?


Electric Resistivity• Durability• Permeability• Quality control

measurement of the future?

• Industry has to come to terms with the preparation of the sample


New Dowel Bars• The old green epoxy bar

has been the standard for 30+ years in the industry

• NCC effort to revise AASHTO M254 and new standards for load transfer and corrosion resistance


Fly Ash• Traditional Type C• Type F ash in the market

place• WHRP Study to Evaluate

use of Type F in our specs

• New national effort to change the classification system for ash

• Tight supplies in WI 2014-2015

• Potential new sources of F ash?


MIT Scan Device for Thickness Measurement

• WisDOT implementing

• Replaces coring• Primary method of

acceptance for thickness

• Contractor continue to probe for process control

• 2016 full implementation


Stringless Technologies in WI • The technology is here• Being used across the nation• WisDOT Specification allows Use• IH 94 Paving in Kenosha County by Walsh

CONCRETE OVERLAYS


2016 WCHA - Concrete Solutions for County Highways

Concrete Overlays• Growing national market• Under utilized in Wisconsin• Significant efforts by ACPA and CP Tech Center in last 5

years:– Overlay Technical Guide

(Currently funding revision @ $75k).– Hands-on guidance on design and construction.– Tech Transfer on all types of overlays.

• FHWA support of implementation.
