Air and DurabilityResults
• Air content—good• 5.6-8.2% in front of paver (conventional—higher)• All cores: 5.8% and up
• SAM/spacing factor

Air and Durability
• Freeze/thaw resistance (ASTM C666)• Durability factor – all above 75% indicating a good
F/T resistance• Correlate with air structure

Permeability
Resistivity TestResults
• 7 & 28 days• Similar results for M-QMC and reg. QMC
• 56 & 91 days• M-QMC showing continuous improvement, higher
resistivity than reg. QMC• Significant improvement over C4

Workability
Vibrating Kelly Bell• All results in good range for slipform
paving (VKelly index: 0.69-1.10 in/√s; recommended: 0.6-1.1 in/√s)
• Higher index: possible correlation with curb collapse
