Abstract

Concrete pavement durability is a priority for state transportation agencies. Test methods typically ensure the strength of concrete mixtures, but durable, high-quality pavement depends on many other properties. A comprehensive pooled fund effort led by Iowa DOT implemented new performance-engineered mixture (PEM) methods for concrete testing that resulted in improved specifications for sustainable pavement in Iowa and other states.
