• 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.
