1 Use of Dolomitic Micro Fines in Concrete Dan Miller, MSCE, PE OMM Cement and Concrete Engineer Ohio Department of Transportation

2 OVERVIEW Introduction Development Mix Designs Fresh Concrete Properties Hardened Concrete Properties Freeze-Thaw, Alkali Carbonate Results, Shrinkage Results Current Field Installations Follow up and C&MS Language

3 INTRODUCTION What are Micro-fines Can Micro-fines Improve Concrete Strength and Durability Does the Material Increase or Decrease Water Demand Cement Replacement or Fine Aggregate Replacement How to Introduce Micro-fines into the Mix Is it Cost Effective Compared to SCMs or Additional Cement

4 DOLOMITIC MICRO FINES (MINERAL FILLER) Small Particles Captured from Quarry Production Fines-packing is very Desirable for Strength and Durability; DMF Achieves this by Surrounding the Cement Particle. Fills the Voids between Cement Particles to Create Additional Nucleation Sites. Assists in Bridging the Gap between the Cement and Fine Aggregates Versus Cement Alone.

5 DEVELOPMENT ICAR Report 401 and National Lime & Stone Data Reviewed Meetings Held with OAIMA and National Lime & Stone ACI 211.7R-15 Guide for Proportioning Concrete Mixtures with Ground Limestone and Other Mineral Fillers ASTM WK Standard Specification for Ground Calcium Carbonate and Aggregate Mineral Fillers for use in Hydraulic Cement Concrete

6 DEVELOPMENT ODOT Laboratory wanted to Verify Industry Results Dolomitic Micro-fines used were DMF 80 from National Followed C&MS Item 499 for Mix Designs (ACI 301) Seven Mixes Created (Control, 10%, 20%, 30%, Control(2), 15%, Tern.) 0.45 w/c Ratio.44 w/cm Ratio for Ternary Mix
