Abstract:

Severe D-cracking on Interstate pavements prompted the Illinois Department of Transportation to initiate a program to identify and eliminate the use of D-cracking aggregate. More than 200 crushed-stone and gravel sources were evaluated by using both the Iowa pore index and ASTM C-666 freeze-thaw tests. Shortcomings in the Iowa pore index test have resulted in its use being limited to a screening test. The results of the freeze-thaw program have formed the basis for a specification that the state believes will guarantee the durability of future pavements. (Author)
