• Abstract:
  Shrinkage cracks in cement-stabilized bases/subbase can be alleviated by specifying the right cement dosage, or by other additives/procedures that suppress crack susceptibility. A field trial of six 1000 ft test sections to investigate several alternative techniques was initiated and constructed in August 2000. The following additives/procedures are included for investigation:
  
  5.5% cement additive control; design based on a reduced strength criteria,
  
  5.5% cement precracked while “young”,
  
  5.5% cement precut (grooved) every 3m (10 ft),
  
  3.5% cement with 8% fly ash,
  
  Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) complemented by 2% lime.
  
  Three percent lime and 12% fly ash, the current favored stabilization technique of MDOT.
  
  This interim report covers the tests and results conducted in three stages:
  
  Mixture design, Construction monitoring, Post-construction evaluation.
