dies indicate that by keeping closer
check of the coarse aggregate the
workability and uniformity of the
concrete can be improved, and the
quantity of cement slightly reduc-
ed. Whether this will be sufficient
to justify the added cost remains
to be seen. With the new method
the practice would be to make de-
termination of cement proportions
on each project, after making lab
oratory tests of the coarse aggre-
gate, instead of using a fixed ce-
ment ration on all paving as at
present. With a 400-mile paving
program, a saving of one-half per
cent in cement becomes a large
item.
The research project is in line
with the policy of the Minnesota
department, the Bureau Of
Public Roads, and other state high
way departments, of studying and
utilizing every possible improved
road building method. Through a
long series of experiments and OBJ
servation of results, the quality Of
concrete has been slowly but stead
lily improved each year since it
came into use for road building.
Concrete pavements built twenty
and thirty years ago are still in
use, and those now being built may
be expected to last much longer.
