TEST SECTIONS ARE REPORTED DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ROCK SALT FOR STABILIZING AGGREGATE BASE COURSE MIXTURES CONTAINING MINUS-200 MATERIAL IN AMOUNTS UP TO 12 PERCENT. THE TEST AREAS FORM A PART OF MICHIGAN'S TRUNKLINE SYSTEM AND CARRY ABOUT 1,300 VEHICLES PER DAY. THE TEST MIXTURES WERE PREPARED IN A PUG MILL AND PLACED ON THE ROADWAY USING NORMAL CONSTRUCTION METHODS. NO CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED WITH THE USE OF SALT. RESULTS OF THE TEST PROGRAM INDICATE THAT GRADED AGGREGATES CONTAINING UP TO 12 PERCENT FINES CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY USED WHEN TREATED WITH ROCK SALT. ROCK SALT TREATMENT COULD BE OF BENEFIT TO HIGHWAY PROGRAMS WHERE QUALITY AGGREGATES ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. /AUTHOR/
