• Abstract:
  Premature deterioration of concrete pavement due to D-cracking has been a problem in ; Kansas since the 1930s. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has made ; significant efforts, including five extensive studies into the phenomenon of D-Cracking, ; to mitigate the problem. ; Kansas geology includes mineable limestone coarse aggregates with variable durability ; in the eastern portion of the state. Due to this variability and historically poor D-cracking ; field performance, KDOT initiated intensive identification and tracking of individual ; mined beds, as well as frequent durability testing during production in the 1980s
