Grains of gain

In order to investigate the use of manufactured sands in portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements, a study was initiated at the University of Texas and funded by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The objective was to find better methods to design and evaluate PCC pavement mixtures that are capable of maintaining performance while containing manufactured fine aggregates (MFA). Specifically, a new method for evaluating concrete surfaces for skid resistance and an improved method for proportioning pavement concrete are discussed in this article.
