MSDOT Stabilized Base IC Demo

Dates:

Monday, July 13, 2009 - Friday, July 17, 2009

Location:

The IC demonstration site is located at US 84 in Wayne county, MS. This project is a 4-mile long new asphalt construction with two lanes in each traffic direction. The top 6 in. of granular (sandy) subbase will be treated with ~5% cement as the MSDOT 9C chemically treated granular material.

Material Types:

Type V - stabilized base material (MSDOT Type 9C material)
Type IV - asphalt material (secondary - as a "mini-demo")

A "mini-demo" may be conducted for the Type IV asphalt materials. It is treated as a separated demo from the full blown demo.

Sections:

Roller(s):

Caterpillar single drum padfoot roller
Case/Ammann single smooth drum roller
Sakai double drum roller (for mini-HMA IC demo)

Objectives:

Demonstrate IC technology to MSDOT personnel, contractors, and the highway community at large,
Help MSDOT accelerate the development of IC quality control (QC) specifications for subgrade soils (cement treated granular material) materials,
Develop an experienced and knowledgeable IC expertise base within MSDOT, and
Identify and prioritize needed improvements and research for IC equipment.
