Potential Applications – Preventative Maintenance
Frictional Wearing Course Overlays Reset surface
serviceability properties For old, highly oxidized
pavements with low skid resistance and/or superficial cracking
For structurally adequate pavements only

Potential Applications – Preventative Maintenance
Alternate to 1 or 2 Course Surface Treatment For pavement needing a
highly flexible surface, but could also benefit from good ride quality associated with HMA
For pavement with a number of seal coats, shallow rutting, patching, and other distresses, such as flushing or raveling

Pilot Program – Test Section Compaction
Experiment: Vibratory vs. Static
Vibratory compaction migrated tack to the surface – fat spots
Both compaction methods produced good permeability properties Drain Down Time
(Vibratory) = 16 minutes Drain Down Time
(Static) = 9 minutes

UT Mix - Future Issue with obtaining target AC with fine mixes Target AC = 7.2%; Actual AC = 7.8-8.0%
Develop Special Specification Vary AC to match required performance Strict temperature requirements for placement Static Compaction Water Flow Rate ≥ 2 minutes
Proposed Project – Hamilton Pool Road Old, oxidized HMA with marginal skid resistance
