... 14 Research Approach The objective of the research described in this report was to recommend potential improvements to specifications and test protocols to determine the acceptability of cements with processing additions. The purpose was to assure highway engineers that the performance of concrete prepared with cements containing inorganic processing additions is not deleteriously affected by the presence of such materials.

... 15 constraints. The budget was based on a full suite of tests being conducted on 98 cements and 27 concretes.

... 16 Materials The materials included in the test matrix are discussed first. The combinations of the selected materials tested are discussed in the section on Materials Combinations.

... 18 Processing Additions Dosage Selection of the dosages of processing addition in the test matrix was based on the current chemical limits of AASHTO M 85. The philosophy adopted was to add as much processing addition to each clinker as possible, while remaining within the specified limits for LOI and insoluble residue.
From page 19...
... Statistical Design of Processing Additions Combinations The design of the experimental matrix was prepared on a statistical basis to obtain a maximum of information while remaining within budgetary constraints. The budget had been prepared on the basis of preparing and testing 99 "cements." A full matrix would have required preparation and testing of 160 "cements." During the process of research it was decided to increase the total matrix to 109 combinations.

... 20 All 18 mixtures were tested using a "structural" mix design. Nine of the mixtures, those made with "Mid" and "High" clinkers were tested using a "paving" mix design.

... The required amount of sulfate material to optimize each of the combinations of cements was determined in accordance with ASTM C 563. The sulfate contents of these cements are shown in Table 9.
