Is there a rapid setting lean concrete base specification?
Not yet. The use of rapid setting PCC is suggested when a quick cure of base material is necessitated. In the future, a SSP for this may be developed that would utilize a lean concrete base with additional non-chloride accelerators. If the District wishes to use rapid setting lean concrete base for a particular project, they should contact Mr. Tom Pyle, Chief of the Office of Rigid Pavement Materials and Structural Concrete for assistance in developing a specification.
