Book Evaluation of Pavement Surface Friction Treatments

Download or read book Evaluation of Pavement Surface Friction Treatments written by Shuo Li and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of a pavement preservation program involves a learning curve with not only a determination to succeed, but also the courage to fail. Also, successful implementation of pavement preservation program requires knowledge of the performance of preservation surface treatments over time, which is critical to the select of candidate projects and the development of performance models for pavement management analysis. In addition, preservation surface treatments, such as chip seal, fog seal, microsurfacing, 4.75 mm thin or ultra-thin overlay, can not only repair certain pavement surface defects, but also change the surface characteristics of pavement and therefore affect pavement surface friction performance. Nevertheless, such information is currently not available but is essential for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to evaluate the effectiveness of pavement preservation surface treatments. As a concentrated effort, this study focused on the long-term friction performance of preservation surface treatments, particularly those have been widely used and those have seen increasing use by INDOT. Based on the selected field pavement test sections, this study aimed to evaluate the surface characteristics, particularly the long-term friction performance for those surface treatments that have been widely used and have seen increasing use by INDOT, including chip seal, fog-chip, fog seal, rejuvenating seal, microsurfacing, ultrathin bonded wearing course (UBWC), 4.75-mm hot mix asphalt (HMA) thin overlay, and profile milling (or diamond grinding). The test sections for each type of surface treatment covered a wide range of traffic volume from light to high. The service life for the selected test sections varied from 6 months to 60 months. Friction testing was mainly conducted using ASTM E 274 locked wheel trailer. Surface texture testing was conducted using either the ASTM E 2157 circular track meter (CTM) or a laser scanner. Pavement roughness and noise tests were also conducted to address the smoothness and noise issues, particularly on microsurfacing. Detailed analysis was provided to evaluate the friction performance of 4.75-mm HMA overlays. It is believed that the test results and findings drawn from this study not only provides timely information for INDOT to improve its pavement preservation program, but also provides the original information for the potential readers to better utilize preservation surface treatments.

Book Friction Surface Treatment Selection

Download or read book Friction Surface Treatment Selection written by Shuo Li and published by . This book was released on 2017-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to evaluate the long term performance of the selected surface friction treatments, including high friction surface treatment (HFST) using calcined bauxite and steel slag, and conventional friction surfacing, in particular pavement preservation treatments such as chip seal, microsurfacing, ultrathin bonded wearing course (UBWC), and diamond grinding. This study also attempted to determine the correlation between vehicle crash and pavement surface friction, which makes it possible to quantitatively establish the so-called crash modification factors (CMFs) that are extremely useful in selecting a cost-effective solution to reduce wet pavement vehicle crashes.In-depth reviews were conducted to identify the aspects of the properties for aggregates used in HFST, including aggregate abrasion value (AAV), Los Angeles abrasion (LAA), Micro-Deval abrasion, and polished stone value (PSV). Extensive laboratory testing was conducted to examine the LAA, Micro-Deval abrasion, and PSV, and to provide first-hand data on the calcined bauxite and steel slag that may be used for HFST and friction surfacing in Indiana. Laboratory accelerating polishing was carried out to evaluate the effect of aggregate gradation and identify the HFST systems with satisfactory friction performance with respect to surface macro-texture and friction. Test strips were installed in the pavement on a real-world road to further evaluate the friction performances of the promising HFST systems under the true traffic polishing and assess the potential effect of winter and snow plow. Pull-off testing was also conducted to examine the bonding between the proposed HFST systems and the substrate surface. Field friction test data was utilized to evaluate the long-term friction performances of pavement preservation treatments, including chip seal, microsurfacing, UBWC, and diamond grinding. Statewide vehicle crash data between 2010 and 2014 was examined to determine the crash statistics associated with pavement friction. The crash data was also matched to the annual pavement inventory friction data to quantify the probabilistic association between vehicle crash and pavement friction with respect to interstate, US, and state highways, respectively.

Book Laboratory Evaluation of an Innovative and Cost Effective High friction Surface Treatment

Download or read book Laboratory Evaluation of an Innovative and Cost Effective High friction Surface Treatment written by Xiaoyu Wendi Chen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST) is a surface treatment that can effectively improve the frictional characteristics of pavements and enhance the users' safety on the road. Among all existing applications of HFSTs, bauxite and oil-based epoxy resin are the most commonly used materials in the United States. However, bauxite and conventional epoxy resin are not cost-effective and provide limited preservation benefits to the pavement structure with existing distresses (e.g., top-down fatigue). In this study, the performance of a new and cost-effective HFST that uses waterborne epoxy, emulsified asphalt and corundum sand was investigated through a battery of laboratory tests. The performance of the innovative HFST was evaluated and compared with common HFSTs (copper slags and bauxites) used in USA with respect to three aspects: (i) skid resistance improvement before and after the treatment, (ii) durability to environmental effects (moisture induced damage and freeze-thaw cycles), and (iii) the effect of application on surfaces with existing top-down cracking. The results showed that the new HFST with waterborne epoxy and corundum was able to improve the skid resistance similar to or better than the conventional HFSTs. The deterioration rate on skid resistance of new HFST after freeze-thaw cycles and damage were found to be faster than bauxites but slower than copper slag. In addition, since corundum sand used in the low-cost HFST is much finer than either copper slags or bauxites and viscosity of waterborne epoxy is less than oil-based epoxy resin, the new HFST's material has the potential to fill the existing cracks with a width of 1.5±0.1 mm and relief the further propagation of the existing top-down cracks.

Book Laboratory Evaluation of Surface Treatments to Asphaltic Pavements in Mississippi

Download or read book Laboratory Evaluation of Surface Treatments to Asphaltic Pavements in Mississippi written by Walter Stephens Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chip and scrub seal treatments are one of the most common pavement preservation practices, however, no performance specifications exist in Mississippi. Review of literature has shown the treatment of cores being successful in reducing the viscosity of aged asphalt pavements. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a basis for performance based specifications for surface treatments in Mississippi. This thesis provides information pertaining to viscosity, moisture loss, and frosted marble analysis of emulsions and the effects of rejuvenation after application of emulsions to aged asphalt pavements which are vital to the performance of the surface treatment. The objectives to this thesis are to determine and evaluate the effects of rejuvenation, frosted marble test, and moisture loss of emulsion applied to aged asphalt pavements. Results from these analysis' are favorable for developing or providing a basis for performance based specifications for surface treatments applied in Mississippi.

Book Pavement Surface Treatments for Ice prone Locations in the Illinois Highway System

Download or read book Pavement Surface Treatments for Ice prone Locations in the Illinois Highway System written by Michelle Akin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project aims to identify and evaluate effective and durable pavement surface treatments (PSTs) suitable for implementation at Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) ice-prone locations. A user-friendly questionnaire of northern states and international transportation agencies was developed to capture practitioner insights and collect more detailed information about the current practices of using PSTs for ice prevention. A comprehensive review of existing research and agency practices both nationally and internationally in using PSTs for icy/slippery pavement condition prevention was conducted. The review focused on built-in technologies such as the use of highly rough surface texture, slow-release freezing point depressant, or superhydrophobic additive in asphalt pavement, to identify candidate technologies for the project. PSTs have not been widely adopted by state or local agencies, even for select ice-prone locations. None of the PSTs identified and reviewed have demonstrated long-term success or significant enough potential for the Illinois Center for Transportation (ICT) Technical Review Panel to be comfortable with; as such, the project was wrapped up without further laboratory tests and life-cycle analyses. Some of these built-in PST technologies are promising but all of them, other than high friction surface treatment (HFST), are premature at this stage for any field deployment by Illinois. The major concerns stem from their high cost of implementation and potential lack of long-term durability as an effective anti-icing tool. IDOT should consider conducting traffic safety analyses of their high friction surface treatment (HFST) sites, including winter maintenance operations data and winter crash statistics.
