Evaluation of Cement Content and W/C Influence on Mechanical Behavior of Concrete Pavements

Concrete pavements with zero slump under pressure and high rate vibration has highly attracted the interests of engineers. In this study, fifteen different experimental mix designs with different cement content have been studied to improve the concrete pavement properties. Influence of effective factors on these kinds of concretes has also been considered. Then the relations between cement content and abrasion resistance, flexural and compressive strength, and water absorption have presented. The cement content was found as the most important factor in increasing and decreasing the abrasion and water absorption. Increasing the cement content up to 300 (Kg/m3) not only increased the abrasion resistance but also increases the amounts of cement content do not have always a good effect on a concrete quality and strength.
