• Abstract:
  The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has controlled alkali-silica ; reaction (ASR) for more than 70 years through the use of selected aggregates. ; Sand and gravel sources had to be tested using Kansas Test Method KTMR- ; 23 (1999), Wetting and Drying Test of Sand and Sand-Gravel Aggregate for ; Concrete. Those aggregate sources that did not pass the Wetting and Drying ; Test had to be used with a “sweetener.” The sweetener had to make up a ; minimum of 30% (by weight) of the aggregate in the concrete. The most ; common sweeteners used have been limestone, calcite cemented sandstone, ; and a coarse gravel that passed the Wetting and Drying Test. Granite from ; Arkansas has recently been added as a sweetener in the Kansas City market
