Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The size of the highway network has grown beyond the manageable capabilities of transportation agencies and stakeholders who are concerned with maintaining their assets using limited funding abilities. For that reason, pavement preservation programs have become very popular because they offer cost-effective spending schemes that maximize the service life of roads. Seal coats are one of the most popular pavement preventative treatments used around the world due to their high durability and low cost compared to other surface treatments. Their performance depends on the adequate computation of the aggregate and binder application rates. Misestimating these rates leads to raveling, bleeding, or other distresses. Accordingly, numerous design methods have been developed and are being implemented worldwide. This research assesses the different design philosophies and considers the assumptions adopted by each. It is challenging to design a seal coat when several design methods recommend different and inconsistent application rates. For the first time, the three-dimensional laser is incorporated in the design of seal coats in order to provide a fast, objective, and reliable approach. A predictive model is developed to determine the adequate aggregate application rate based on the size of the aggregates, i.e. the average least dimension, and their density. This study also assesses the contemporary texture characterization techniques and analyzes the variance of the sand patch test. The findings indicate that the sand patch test is not a reliable estimator of the volume of voids in the surface texture, which negatively affects the calculation of the binder application rate. The study recommends an algorithm that accurately measures the volume of voids in the existing surface texture using 3D surface scans. The outcome enhances the estimation of the binder application rate, and the findings can be applied to the existing design methods to improve the performance of the seal coat. Finally, highway agencies could incorporate the 3D laser within the binder sprayer to measure the surface texture during construction and automatically adjust the rate

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objectives of this study were to establish design and construction guidelines for multiple seal coats for the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. A multiple seal coat is a bituminous surface that results from two or more successive alternating applications of bituminous binder and cover aggregate to an existing paved surface, usually with the smaller aggregate sizes used in each successive layer. From a thorough review of the literature, it was concluded that the key to executing an effective design for multiple seal coats was in the ability to measure the available void space in multiple stone layers that could be filled with binder. A design method developed by the NITRR of South Africa which included a test procedure (Modified Tray Test) for measuring the void content and effective thickness of a stone layer was chosen for further field and laboratory investigation.

This book was released on 2011-03-12 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project presents an evaluation of seal coat materials and design method. The primary objectives of this research are 1) to evaluate seal coat performance from various combinations of aggregates and emulsions in terms of aggregate loss; 2) to evaluate how the properties of aggregates and emulsions affect seal coat performance; 3) to evaluate current seal coat design methods based on INDOT seal coat practice; and 4) to develop seal coat design software incorporating Indiana practice. To evaluate the effects of aggregate and emulsion types on aggregate loss performance of seal coat, three emulsions and eight aggregates including CRS-2P, RS-2P, and AE-90S for emulsions and Trap Rock, Sandstone, Blast Furnace Slag, Steel Slag, Limestone, Dolomite, Crushed Gravel (one face), and Crushed Gravel (two faces) were tested utilizing the sweep test and Vialit test. In addition, to explore influential factors (i.e., electrical surface charge interaction, water evaporation change in emulsion, water affinity of aggregate, etc.), the Zeta potential, water content, and X-ray deflection (XRD) tests were also conducted.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extensive literature review was conducted in this project, including review of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), national, and international specifications. Based on the findings and results from prior tasks, several specification changes are recommended. This report contains the proposed specifications and a summary of the key changes. Along with the specification recommendations, new test procedures are also needed as part of the specification requirements. This research focused on developing a new design procedure for application rates. It is proposed that the new design procedure be outlined in a TxDOT test procedure format, then that procedure referenced in the specificat

Book excerpt: Seal coat is a layer of asphalt binder with a layer of aggregate applied over a pavement. The purpose of a seal coat is to seal the pavement from air and water intrusion while providing the safety benefits of maintaining sufficient friction over the seal coat's design life. With an investment of over $300,000,000 annually, it is imperative to construct a high-quality project. To achieve quality construction, it is important to establish and adjust the application rates for the binder and aggregate based on the materials being used, traffic and existing roadway conditions. This project produced guidelines for improvements to rate design procedures that will help engineers and inspectors make better decisions resulting in successful projects.
