Book excerpt: The focus of many asphalt mixture design procedures over the past 10 years has led to the development of stiffer, drier mixtures. However, these mixes are more difficult to construct and are potentially more prone to reflective cracking. In this research the upgraded overlay tester is introduced and proposed as a simple performance test on reflective cracking. The overlay tester can be run on standard size samples, typically 6 in (150 mm) long by 3 in (75 mm) wide by 1.5 in (38 mm) high. These specimens can be prepared from either field cores or from Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) molded specimens. The test is rapid and repeatable, and poor samples fail in minutes. It characterizes both crack initiation and crack propagation properties of asphalt mixtures. Based on repeatability study results, three replicates are recommended for the overlay tester. Sensitivity studies indicate that the overlay tester provides reasonable test results. Increasing asphalt content will significantly improve the reflective cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures. In a series of tests on Texas mixtures, it was determined that aggregate absorption has a major impact on the performance of specimens in the overlay tester. This topic has not received much attention recently but it obviously needs to be investigated. In the lab these highly absorptive aggregates did not severely impact the rutting performance but they had a major impact on cracking life. The effectiveness of the overlay tester was validated by five case studies in Texas. The overlay tester results all correlated well with the field performance. Furthermore, the overlay tester results have good correlations with beam fatigue test results and low temperature performance of asphalt mixtures in the field. A preliminary framework of asphalt overlay mixture designs and associated criteria have been proposed. Based on the framework, two examples of asphalt overlay mixture designs are presented in this report. This framework and the associated criteria are preliminary and they will need further refinement. Finally, a brand new overlay tester has been manufactured and delivered to TxDOTs central lab at the edar Park office. In addition, training for the operation and analysis has been provided.

Download or read book Upgraded Overlay Tester and Its Application to Characterize Reflection Cracking Resistance of Asphalt Mixtures written by Fujie Zhou and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflection cracking is a major concern when placing an overlay on a cracked pavement. The opening and closing of joints and/or cracks induced by daily temperature cycles is a major contributor to reflection cracking. This mechanism is currently being simulated in the laboratory at the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) using a specially modified overlay-tester device. To evaluate the overlay tester concept laboratory results are presented on cores from four Texas projects, three of which performed very poorly and one which performed excellently. The asphalt mixture on US 175 in Dallas was placed on a cracked stabilized base and did not have a single reflection crack after 10 years in service, whereas the mixtures on two projects were badly cracked after only few months. The results clearly show that the upgraded TTI overlay tester can effectively differentiate between the reflection cracking resistance of different asphalt mixtures. It is also found that the reflection cracking resistance of asphalt mixture has a good correlation with the asphalt binder properties. In this report the upgraded TTI overlay tester is also used to quantify the benefits of modified asphalt binders. This benefit is demonstrated with a single mix where specimens were prepared with a variety of asphalt binders. The mix prepared with PG 64-22 plus 3 percent SBR latex demonstrated superior reflection cracking resistance while still maintaining adequate rutting resistance. It is proposed that the overlay tester is a practical device which can be incorporated into mixture design systems, to complement the current systems, which often focus solely on minimizing rutting potential. In many instances it is necessary to optimize both crack resistance and rutting potential to obtain adequate long-term pavement performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes work done on various combinations of monomers and polymer concrete mixes and identifies the mixes showing the greatest potential for use in bridge deck overlays. Presented are test results showing physical properties of various polymer concrete mixes, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, thermal coefficient of expansion, and shrinkage coefficient. The effects of polymer content, work time, and temperature on various properties are also discussed. The development of two polymer concrete systems with excellent membrane potential are described along with the details of bonding characteristics of several systems. Finally, a polymer concrete mix with suitable properties for deck and pavement patching is detailed.
