A New Method of Constructing a Disc for Concrete Surface Floating

Abstract:

Concrete surfaces are becoming increasingly popular in road construction around the world. This is due to a number of advantages, such as high durability amounting up to 40 years, high load capacity, resistance to rutting at high temperatures, and light color which allows for reduction of costs of lighting. This paper presents a new method of constructing a disc for concrete surface floating. On the basis of numerical calculations a nomogram has been designed which can serve for selecting the optimal disc’s geometrical parameters of required geometric efficiency of a working tool’s influence based on the criterion of uniformity of processing (Sg). In the case of the analyzed geometry an increase of the required geometric efficiency the minimum value of the standard deviation and standard deviation ratio increase accordingly, which is the measure of processed surface uniformity, which is it leads to quality deterioration of machining.
