Contents
106.3.2.62.1 Required Materials
1) Dust suppressant.
2) Coarse aggregate, representative of material on which the dust suppressant is proposed to be used.
3) Fine aggregate, Class A.
4) Type I portland cement.
5) MoDOT approved air-entraining agent.
6) Water.
106.3.2.62.2 Sample Preparation
106.3.2.62.2.1 Coarse Aggregate
Treated coarse aggregate shall be treated with the dust suppressant at the manufacturer's recommended maximum rate.
106.3.2.62.2.2 Concrete Mix Design
Two concrete mixtures shall be prepared for each of the following designs. One mixture shall be prepared using treated coarse aggregate, and one mixture shall be prepared using the same coarse aggregate that has not been treated.
106.3.2.62.2.2.1 Air-Entrained Concrete
- Cement Factor: 340 kg/m3
- Water/Cement Ratio, max: 0.49
- Slump, mm, max: 65
- Air Content: 5.0 - 8.0
- Percent Fine Aggr.: 38
106.3.2.62.2.2.2 Non-Air-Entrained Concrete
- Cement Factor: 340 kg/m3
- Water/Cement Ratio, max: 0.53
- Slump, mm, max: 65
- Percent Fine Aggr.: 38
106.3.2.62.2.3 Mixing
Mixing of the concrete using the design factors listed herein shall be performed in accordance with the applicable requirements of AASHTO T 126. During mixing the slump shall be at least 25 mm, and the water-cement ratio shall be maintained as constant as possible.
106.3.2.62.2.4 Specimens
Three 152.4 mm x 304.8 mm cylinders shall be prepared from each of the mixtures in accordance with the applicable requirements of AASHTO T 126.
The cylinders shall be cured for 7 days in accordance with the applicable requirements of AASHTO T 126.
106.3.2.62.3 Testing
106.3.2.62.3.1 Slump
The slump of the freshly mixed concrete shall be determined in accordance with AASHTO T 119.
106.3.2.62.3.2 Air Content
The air content of the freshly mixed concrete shall be determined in accordance with AASHTO T 152.
106.3.2.62.3.3 Compressive Strength
Two cylinders from each concrete mixture shall be tested for 7-day compressive strength in accordance with AASHTO T 22.
106.3.2.62.3.4 Linear Traverse
Test specimens shall be taken from one cylinder of each concrete mixture at 7 days cure by sawing and polishing and shall be tested for the characteristics of the air-void system in accordance with ASTM C457.
106.3.2.62.4 Report
The report shall list the following for each concrete mixture and each design:
- (a) Slump of freshly mixed concrete.
- (b) Air content of freshly mixed concrete.
- (c) Individual Compressive strengths at 7-day cure.
- (d) Spacing factor of the hardened concrete.
