• Abstract:
  This project aimed to streamline CTB mixture design with an accelerated process and lab procedures similar to those recently developed for emulsified and foamed asphalt. By employing indirect tensile (IDT) strength from 4-in.- diameter, 2-in.-tall specimens, the accelerated mix design approach can produce results faster and with less material than current CTB mix design methods using unconfined compressive strength (UCS) (Figure 1).
