CCT ANNOUNCES CEMENT STABILIZATION AND ROLLER-COMPACTED CONCRETE SEMINARS FOR 2017

Cement-stabilized pavement bases and subgrades, and roller-compacted concrete pavements, are highly economical ways to build durable roads, parking facilities, and industrial pavements.  The Cement Council of Texas will hold one-day seminars at six Texas locations (between August and December) that will instruct engineers, contractors, agencies, developers, and other building professionals in the design, construction and maintenance of these pavements.  Click her​e to find out more.  7.0 PDHs.

SOIL-CEMENT RESERVOIR SHORT COURSE/TOUR SHOWCASES LCRA LANE CITY RESERVOIR

Soil-Cement Construction, Lane City Reservoir
On September 14th, the Cement Council of Texas is offering a one-time only opportunity to learn how to design and construct reservoirs utilizing time-tested soil-cement embankment protection.  Water resources engineers, contractors and owners/agencies should not miss this opportunity to learn from industry experts and utilize the Lower Colorado River Authority's (LCRA) 1,100 acre reservoir construction site as a learning laboratory.  This type of workshop has not been offered in the U.S. in decades;  several similar Texas projects are now on the drawing boards.  Click here to view details of this unique 1-day short course and tour in Wharton, TX, 60 miles Southwest of Houston.  6.5.PDHs.  Also, learn more in Ken Hansen's guest blog post "Soil-Cement Continues to Be Big in Texas Dams."

FIRST TXDOT ROLLER-COMPACTED CONCRETE HIGHWAY BUILT IN TEXAS

Picture
TxDOT, looking for durable pavement alternatives in the heavily-trafficked shale play regions of Texas, has turned to roller compacted concrete (RCC) in the San Angelo District.  U.S. 83 through Leakey, which sees significant oil/gas trucking, quarry haulers, and hill country leisure travelers, was reconstructed in three weeks with RCC pavement.  The project, including Leakey’s main downtown intersection, maintained continuous traffic, with some RCC sections placed back in service within 24 hours.   Continue to project page and slideshow...
