• Abstract:
  Shrewd modifications to concrete mixtures and resourceful construction practices led to cost savings of more than 50 percent, time savings of several weeks, and significant reductions in various environmental impacts. This was demonstrated on a concrete pavement reconstruction project on Peña Boulevard, a four-lane divided highway that connects the City of Denver (via I-70) to Denver International Airport (DIA).
