Abstract:Unexpected interactions between otherwise acceptable ingredients in portland cement
concrete are becoming increasingly common as cementitious systems become more complex
and demands on the systems are more rigorous. Examples of incompatibilities are early
stiffening or excessive retardation, potential for uncontrolled early-age cracking, and unstable
or unacceptable air void systems. Several test methods have been reviewed to assess their
usefulness in early detection of incompatibility, and thus prevent pavement field problems. A
protocol has been developed to allow product manufacturers, concrete producers, contractors,
and owners to monitor materials and concrete systems. The protocol has two phases:
relatively simple field tests to provide early warnings of potential problems and central
laboratory tests to support and confirm the field work.
