“…The authors, based on data compilation in the USA, focus here on problems recorded in the USA. Several states including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, California, Ohio, Utah, Wyoming, Indiana, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana have reported sulfate-heave-induced damage in pavement infrastructure (Hunter, 1988;Kota et al, 1996;Mitchell, 1986;Perrin, 1992;Puppala et al, 1999Puppala et al, , 2010Rollings et al, 1999Rollings et al, , 2006 Calcium-based stabiliser treatment of sulfate-bearing soils Puppala, Talluri and Chittoori two case studies of sulfate heave; one of them describes this distress identified in a tunnel shotcrete liner.…”

Stabilisation of sulfate-bearing soils has proven to be a challenging engineering problem for the pavement and geotechnical engineering community. Pavement distress caused by the heaving of sulfate soils often necessitates pavement rehabilitation and frequent road closures. Although the current literature provides a few reasons for sulfate heaving, there are still remaining issues with respect to normalisation of sulfate levels at which this heave will occur in the field. This paper presents sulfate heave issues, soluble sulfate measurement techniques for soils and various factors that complicate the establishment of threshold sulfate levels. Sulfate heave mechanisms by crystal growth and ettringite hydration are explained. Then an overview is provided of various soluble sulfate measurement techniques; a couple of case histories of sulfate-induced failures are also included. A comprehensive summary is given of various alternative treatments used in an attempt to stabilise sulfate soils. In conclusion, a few other issues related to this heaving and ongoing research developments to address these issues are briefly mentioned.

“…Rollings et al (2006) explained that sulfate heaving could come from secondary reactions from crushed concrete aggregate bases. Wang et al (2004) reported problems in Louisiana pavement distressed areas, which were attributed to base aggregates containing large amounts of anhydrate and gypsum species.…”

“…Santhanam et al [25] showed that gypsum also contributes to the volumetric expansion of cementitious matrices under external sulfate attack. Gypsum formed according to the above reactions can further react with hydrated calcium aluminate (C 4 AH 13 ), monosulfate (C 4 A S H [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] or unhydrated tricalcium aluminate (C 3 A) to produce secondary ettringite according to the following equations [23,24]:…”

“…In contrast, the current DoD criteria for pavement design, UFC 3-260-02 (Unified Facilities Criteria, 2001b), states that recent problems have been encountered when using recycled concrete on a project where the material came from the local area and was used as fill and base course for a newly constructed pavement section. High levels of sulfates were present in the recycled material, which resulted in heaving of the pavement that occurred even though the recycled concrete was originally designed to be sulfate resistant and had existed in the same environment for over 30 years without issue (Rollings et al, 2006). Of course, exposure as a fill material and a base course material would be expected to be more extreme than if the material was used as aggregate in a concrete mixture and surrounded by dense mortar.…”

The U.S. military must have the ability to rapidly deploy troops and equipment anywhere in the world as part of a contingency operation. Recent military operations have highlighted the critical need for rapid repair procedures and materials for military use on substandard, in-theater airfields. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center is currently addressing these problems through a 6-year demonstration-based research and development program called JRAC (Joint Rapid Airfield Construction). This study involves the development of a method using rapid setting grouts and recycled concrete pavement (RCP) to repair portland cement concrete pavements. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate material properties in order to gain an understanding of expected field performance. Eight fullscale repairs were constructed using two rapid setting grouts, two types of equipment, and two concrete slabs. The repairs were successfully trafficked with simulated C-17 aircraft wheel loads to verify the structural capacity and, ultimately, the procedures.
