These minerals shall consist of finely divided mineral matter such as crusher fines, rock dust, slag dust, hydrated lime, hydraulic cement, Portland cement, loess or Class "F" fly ash meeting the requirements of AASHTO M 17. Any lime based product shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 303. MINERAL ADMIXTURES

806.01Mineral Admixtures

The Department has established a list of Mineral Admixtures For Use In Portland Cement Concrete. These products can be found on List I-3 of the Department’s "Materials, Sources, and Devices With Special Acceptance Requirements" Manual. Refer to Subarticle 106.01(f) and ALDOT-355 concerning this list.

Fly ash shall consist of the finely divided residue or ash that remains after burning finely pulverized coal at high temperatures and shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 295.

Microsilica for use as a mineral admixture in Portland cement concrete shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 307.

Ground granulated blast furnace slag for use as a mineral admixture in Portland cement concrete shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 302, Grade 100 or 120. The total cementitious material (the ground granulated blast furnace slag and the cement) shall meet the total alkali content requirement in Article 815.07. Additional requirements are given in Section 501. If ground granulated blast furnace slag is used as a mineral admixture in soil-cement stabilization, the ground granulated blast furnace slag shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 302, Grade 100 or 120, and the content shall be 50 % of the weight {mass} of the total cementitious material.

may be injurious to concrete.

807.02Water for General Purposes

This water shall be suitable for the purpose intended and free from substances harmful to the particular work involved.

807.03Water for Lime Stabilization work

Water shall be from an approved source, free from any substance which might be harmful to the work, and the total inorganic solids shall not exceed 0.20 percent. AIR ENTRAINING ADDITIVES

808.01Air Entraining Admixtures

Air entraining admixtures for Portland cement concrete shall comply with AASHTO M 154. These additives shall not contain chloride added during its manufacture. Air entraining admixtures already approved for use may not be required to meet performance tests; however, new agents not already approved, if deemed necessary, will be required to meet the comparative strength and non-bleeding provisions of AASHTO M 154 modified to require only 3, 7, and 28 day flexural and compressive tests.

The Department has established a list of Chemical Admixtures For Use In Portland Cement Concrete. These products can be found on List II-1 of the Department’s "Materials, Sources, and Devices With Special Acceptance Requirements" Manual. Refer to Subarticle 106.01(f) and ALDOT-355 concerning this list. CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES FOR CONCRETE

809.01Chemical Admixtures for Concrete

Chemical admixtures for concrete shall comply with the requirements of AASHTO M 194 within the following limitations: These admixtures shall not contain calcium chloride or sugars added during its manufacture. The dosage of each type additive will be included in the concrete design mix issued from the Bureau of Materials and Tests. When an air entraining admixture is used with a water reducer and/or retarder, both admixtures must be manufactured by the same producer.
