Demonstration and implementation recommendations to integrate the United States Road Assessment Program into existing Kansas highway safety programs : technical summary.

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has a history of using
tests such as concrete strength, permeability, and air void structure as design
and acceptance criteria on concrete paving and bridge deck projects. In 2012
the KDOT Concrete Research group concluded a study on testing the length
change of hardened concrete according to ASTM C157 (2008), commonly
referred to as free shrinkage. This free shrinkage test was reviewed as a
possible design or acceptance test for construction projects, primarily
relating to bridge decks where even minimal cracking is detrimental.
