Abstract
Research has shown that maximum reflectivity, using white cement concrete contributes to increased safety of barrier rails. This research evaluated the whiteness of concrete mixes using white cement, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and natural sand versus manufactured sand. Results indicated mixes containing white cement achieve the highest reflectivity.
