• Abstract:
  The Mississippi Department of Transportation is incorporating changes to material ; specifications and construction procedures for bridge decks in an effort to reduce shrinkage ; cracking. These changes are currently being implemented into a limited number of projects to ; evaluate MDOT’s new Class BD concrete. This class of concrete was modeled after Kansas ; Department of Transportation’s special provision for low cracking, high performance concrete ; which was based on studies conducted by the University of Kansas. While Class BD concrete is ; based on recommendations of the research performed at the University of Kansas, there was ; limited data available for MDOT engineers to evaluate shrinkage characteristics of concrete made ; with gravel and cementitious materials available in Mississippi. This research generates shrinkage ; and permeability data for thirty mixtures developed with readily available materials in Mississippi.
