Term of the Road Dictionary

lean concrete

  • Language : PIARC Road Dictionary / English
  • Theme : Roads Materials Mixed Materials
  • Definition : Road concrete having a lower cement content than pavement concrete, and consequently required to attain a lower mechanical strength. Notes: 1. Preparation methods and compliance tests are those required for a pavement concrete, as distinct from ''graded aggregate or granular material bound with cementitious binders''. 2. Compaction is generally obtained by means of vibratory equipment, sometimes by rollers (United Kingdom).
  • Synonyms : lean-mix concrete

Magerbeton 1

  • Language : PIARC Road Dictionary / German
  • Theme : Straßen Baustoffe Gemischtes Material
  • Definition : Beton mit weniger Zementgehalt als Straßenbaubeton und folglich mit geringeren mechanischen Festigkeitsanforderungen. Herstellungsverfahren und Kontrollprüfungen entsprechen denen für Straßenbaubeton, wie sie für abgestufte Mineralstoffe oder mit zementhaltigem Bindemittel gebundenem körnigem Material festgelegt sind. Die Verdichtung erfolgt im Allgemeinen mit vibrierenden Geräten, manchmal mit Walzen (Großbritannien).
