(C&CI Steering Committee)
Terms of Reference
• Consortium was contracted by the Cement and Concrete Institute (C&CI) on behalf of its members to:
– Investigate the influence of the new SABS EN 197-1 cement specifications on the use of cement as a road material stabilizer (ie is TRH 13 still appropriate).
Progress and programme
• Interviews within the industry (completed) • Design laboratory test programme (completed)
• Carry out laboratory testing (completing ±3 weeks)
• Report (end July 2003)
• Workshop
Test programme
• Seven cements
• Two materials
• Initially workability and strength to be assessed
Cements
Full range of standard and non-standard cement tests on each cement
