Investigation of PCC Pavement Sections from I-29 Pottawattamie County, MLR-06-01, 2007

Early deterioration has shown up in a number of Iowa PCC pavements placed between 1986 and 1994. Research has shown that inadequate air content and spacing factors have contributed to the deterioration. Ettringite infilling of air voids is nearly always noted in cores obtained from pavements exhibiting deterioration. This research is to document the early deterioration on I-29 in Pottawattamie county from MP 59 to 72 in both directions.
