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.
