TAC Meeting for TPF-5(183) Improving the Foundation Layers for Concrete Pavements

 

The objective of the Foundation Layers project is to improve the construction methods, economic analysis and selection of materials, in-situ testing and evaluation, and development of performance-related specifications for the pavement foundation layers. The outcome of this study will be conclusive findings that make pavement foundations more durable, uniform, constructible, and economical. All aspects of the foundation layers will be investigated including thickness, material properties, permeability, modulus/stiffness, strength, volumetric stability and durability. Forensic and in-situ testing plans will be conceived to incorporate measurements using existing and emerging technologies (e.g. intelligent compaction) to evaluate performance related parameters as opposed to just index or indirectly related parameter values. Field investigations will evaluate pavement foundation design input parameters at each site to provide a link between what is actually constructed and what is assumed during design

A general overview of the project and its progress is on the TTCC agenda at 1:00 on Tuesday. The project TAC meeting will be held Tuesday evening. All TTCC members are welcome to attend the TAC meeting; prior registration is needed (see registration form).

Purpose: Discuss project report findings from MI, PA, and IA field studies, specifications/ literature review, lab test plan for characterizing pavement foundation materials, possible changes to specification and QC/QA measurement strategies, draft outline of final report and format.

State Reports: Responses to Questions on Cement Specifications (PDF)

Questions for NC2 State Reports

  1. What cement specifications are used in your state (e.g. ASTM C150, AASHTO M 85, ASTM C1157, ASTM C595)?
  2. Are there additional requirements beyond the national specifications? If so – what are they?
  3. What is your approval process for cements (including certification by other states)?
  4. Do you currently allow ASTM C1157 cements? Why or why not?
  5. Do you currently allow ASTM 595 blended cements? Why or why not?
  6. What is your sampling frequency/ testing requirements for QC and/or acceptance?
  7. What are your current limitations on amounts of supplementary cementitious materials, including
    ternary mixtures?
  8. If you do not currently specify an ASTM C1157 cement or an ASTM C595 blended cement, what
    information or circumstances would cause you to begin specifying either of these alternatives to plain portland cement?
11:30 a.m.
