• Abstract:
  The Texas Transportation Institute, in cooperation with the Texas Highway Department and U. S Bureau of Public Roads, is conducting research on synthetic aggregates for highway use. We are involved in facets of the use of synthetic aggregates from structural grade portland cement concrete to asphaltic concrete and to flexible base. Several research reports have been published on the various studies undertaken. At th1s time I it appears desirable to present our best judgement concerning a recommended synthetic aggregate classification system for highway construction, based on the results of our research studies to date. While research in this area is being continued, the judgements presented herein are subject to revision as additional know ledge is gained.
