Concrete Street
Ashtabula Street Project, Ashtabula, OH - March 2000Project Description:
As part of a recent 30-mile new concrete street project, City of Ashtabula engineers called for a trial section utilizing the FORTA-FERRO® structural fiber. The FORTA® section involved 30 cubic yards of very low slump (1-1/2") concrete in this full-depth street pavement, range from 8-12" in thickness. The FORTA-FERRO® mixed and distributed extremely well, even in the low slump mix, and offered no difficulties in the slip-form paver lay-down system. The FORTA-FERRO® fiber, used at a dosage of 3 lbs./cubic yard, also allowed for an excellent non-skid, steel-tine finish.
