This Transportation Research Record contains 12 papers on the subject of concrete materials. Specific topics discussed include the following: alkali-silica reaction activation energy; portland cement concrete mix consistency; volume change in cementitious materials at early ages; mitigating alkali-silica reaction in recycled concrete; mechanical properties of self-consolidating, normal, and high-performance concrete; capping systems for high-strength concrete; systems for determining air voids of hardened concrete; salt solution effects on portland cement concrete; deicers as a cause of alkali-silica reaction in concrete; concrete durability improvement; flowable fill strength; and modeling long-term pavement performance of continuously reinforced concrete sections. The 2006 series of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board consists of approximately 820 papers selected from 2,800 submissions after rigorous peer review. The peer review for each paper published in this volume was coordinated by the sponsoring committee acknowledged at the end of the text; members of the sponsoring committees for the papers in this volume are listed on page II. Many of these papers were presented at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2006. (Author/publisher)
