Latest Mix:

Mix 23 - February 2008
Mix 23 focuses on issues associated with the insulation of concrete structures for improved energy efficiency, with particular relevance to residential design and new provisions of the Building Code of Australia. It includes an example of a fully insulated concrete house designed by Atelier Bow-Wow in Tokyo; and recent approaches to ‘warm'and ‘cold' concrete in the design of two apartment buildings in the Victorian Alps by Salter Architects. Mixtips provides a case study of earth coupling thermal mass in a house designed for precast concrete panel construction with a concrete floor slab in Bethanga Victoria by tUG workshop. The specification guideline outlines the design of concrete roof slabs with the installation of green roof systems for energy efficiency and reduced heat transfer; followed by a survey of research initiatives which have emerged in these applications over the past 40 years.

Latest Report:

Research Report: Effect of manufactured sand on surface properties of concrete pavements
This latest CCAA research report examines the impact of manufactured sand on the intrinsic skid and abrasion resistance of concrete pavement. The research examines the skid and abrasion resistance of concretes made from three natural sands and nine manufactured sands. The characteristic skid values from the concretes were compared to the characteristic skid of concretes sampled from four pavements of various ages along the Hume and Pacific Highway. The report recommends a performance-based specification for sand suitable for concrete pavement. It also found that the abrasion resistance of concrete pavement was independent of the type of sand used.
