ECONOCRETE - UTILIZATION OF MARGINAL AGGREGATES IN PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION

Econocrete can be used in the lower course of a two course concrete or asphalt pavement or in shoulder construction. Many inferior and marginal aggregates, waste products and some otherwise deleterious materials which do not meet the requirements of conventional specifications can be utilized in the manufacture of econocrete. With the rising cost of fuel and the depletion of good quality concrete making materials in some areas, pavement construction with econocrete will become increasingly more cost-effective and competitive. Results of some laboratory investigations are reported which demonstrate the potential of econocrete and dry lean concrete. (Author/TRRL)
