Romoser This work and its defense approved by: Committee Chair: George Bible, MCiv.Eng George Bible, MCiv.Eng Rebecca Williamson, PhD Rebecca Williamson, PhD 5/26/2010 489 Borrowed From the Earth: Semiology of Midwest Rammed Earth Architecture A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture In the School of Architecture of the Department of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Kelley I. Romoser B.S. Ohio University June 2004 Committee Chairs: Thomas Bible, MCiv. Eng Rebecca Williamson, PhD Abstract This thesis explores the material rammed earth and its potential for application in the Midwest, specifically in Southern Ohio. Examining the specifics of rammed earth construction in this context will generate conclusions that have a broader application. Rammed earth construction has been used for hundreds of years in various locales for its many advantages including low material cost, low-energy processing, recyclability, indoor environmental quality, and uniquely beautiful aesthetic. The technique produces massive walls that can help mitigate temperature fluctuation, moderate indoor humidity levels, and dampen sound. Despite these advantages, there are numerous difficulties encountered in contemporary rammed earth construction, particularly in the United States. Rammed earth is highly susceptible to moisture and accepted codes and standards of practice in the U.S.

Because of this, the surface finish and alignment of the walls are very important. There is usually no maximum time limit on the age of the deck before barrier walls are placed. However, there may be a minimum time or strength limit on the age of the deck. You will find these limits in the Standard Specifications or Special Provisions as well as detailed information about barrier walls in Specification 521. Be sure that no work is begun prior to the minimum allowable specified time shown in the specification or contract documents. There are two barrier wall forming methods: stationary forming and slip forming. For the stationary forming method, metal or wooden forms that are the shape of the vertical barrier wall surfaces are firmly set in place on top of the deck. Concrete is placed in the forms and cured and then the forms are removed and reused for the next section of wall. For the slip forming method, a machine guided by a string line, slowly moves along the deck while it covers the barrier wall rebars with a steel form in the shape of the barrier.

  • Section 601 Concrete
    SECTION 601 ⎯ CONCRETE 601.01 DESCRIPTION. Use concrete consisting of a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water, with admixtures as specified, combined in the proportions and mixed to the consistency specified, when forming or casting to dimensions specified in the Plans or as the Engineer directs. Provide the materials, material proportions, equipment, and construction methods necessary to ensure that the concrete produced conforms to the Contract. Structural concrete is concrete for structures such as bridges, culverts, and retaining walls. Non-structural concrete is concrete for non- structural items such as sidewalks, entrances, curb and gutter, and roadway median barrier. 601.02 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. 601.02.01 Steel Reinforcement. Conform to Section 811. 601.02.02 Cement. Conform to Section 801. Use Type I cement. The Department will allow the use of Type IA, Type IP, Type IPA, Type IS, Type I(SM), Type II, Type IIA, and Type III when the Engineer approves. The Engineer will condition his approval upon satisfactory means of storage and handling to ensure the ready identification of these cements when used in portions of the work. If unsatisfactory test results are obtained using Types IA, IP, IPA, IS, I(SM), II, IIA, or III cement, complete the work using Type I cement. Do not intermix cement types in any structural unit. 601.02.03 Admixtures. Conform to Section 802. Use air-entraining and water reducing admixtures in all classes of concrete. Water reducing admixtures are not required when slip forming is used for concrete placement. Use other admixtures when the Engineer directs or approves.

Abstract The research objective was to investigate the causes of premature deterioration of concrete bridge barriers with the goal of developing strategies for corrective actions. The synthesis of all the data collected in various tasks revealed that barrier deterioration starts with early formation of vertical cracking as a result of the tensile stress due to early-age thermal load.
