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
