| Commitments Received: | $390,000 |
| 100% SP&R Approval: | Approved |
| Background: | The vision behind the work described in the Mix Design and Analysis (MDA) Track of the CP Road Map is to develop tools to help specify and make mixtures for concrete pavements that are consistently long-lasting, constructible, and cost efficient. |
| Objectives: | The work to be covered by this pooled fund addresses focused activities under the Concrete Pavement Road Map (CP Road Map) Track 1, Mix Design and Analysis. The activities are intended to meet some of the needs identified by the track. |
| Scope of Work: | This pooled fund is intended to address the following needs identified in the CP Road Map, Mix Design and Analysis (MDA) Track: *Evaluation of Emerging Testing Equipment *Modeling *Mixture Testing and Analysis Guidelines (Specifications) *Training, and Outreach |
| Comments: | Commitment requested: $15,000 per year for 3 years. Work will be phased so that work can begin as soon as $165,000 has been raised from states. A Pooled Fund Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will be established comprising representatives of states contributing funds to the project. The committee will meet every six months in conjunction with the Technology Transfer Concrete Consortium (TTCC) pooled fund TAC meetings. Travel for these meetings will be provided by the TTCC pooled fund. If any MDA pooled fund state is not a member of TTCC, contributions to this MDA pooled fund must be increased by $5,000 to permit travel to MDA TAC meetings twice a year. |
