Title: Research Pays Off: Extending the Use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials in Concrete Pavement During the Late Fall: Indiana Revises Specifications
Accession Number: 01104825
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Indiana Department of Transportation (DOT) initiated a joint study with the concrete pavement industry in the state to evaluate concrete pavement made during late fall from local materials, under standard construction practices, and containing fly ash or ground granulated blast furnace slag. The study examined the pavement's freeze-thaw durability, resistance to salt scaling, and long-term performance. The study provided a tool for contractors and Indiana DOT to minimize the risk of placing inappropriate mixes of concrete in the late fall. The findings of the public-private joint study contributed to a new specification that has lowered the cost of concrete pavement projects, extended the construction season, and addressed the occasional issue of cement shortage in the state by encouraging the use of waste cementitious materials for pavement construction.
