Abstract:
This presentation will discuss two test overlays constructed in Iowa containing lightweight fine aggregate for internal curing. We will review mixture proportioning, constructability, and test data as well as comparative smoothness data for the test sections and their controls. The data indicate that the internal curing not only increases projected life span based on mechanical properties but has improved smoothness at the time of placement and over time.
