The project was designed to determine if emulsified asphalts would perform as well as cut-back asphalts in similar applications. The benefits of emulsified asphalts are primarily derived from the lower temperature requirements and occasionally a lesser amount of actual asphalt content. The project was undertaken in two phases; Phase I--Tack Coats and Phase II--Seal Coats for Surface Treatments. The application of the tack coats in Phase I and the surface treatments in Phase II followed generally the rates that are commonly used in the maintenance operations. Three different types of surface treatments were used; seal coat with sand using anionic emulsion, a chip seal with a sand cover using cationic emulsion and a hot maintenance mix. All of these treatments were placed over areas previously treated with hot maintenance mix in 1974.
Asphalt emulsions are not new materials, they have been used for over 80 years to seal roads. In many countries large scale road construction programs have, and are being carried out. These are more often than not with aid or World Bank funds. This investment in road infrastructure has brought with it the challenge of maintaining these roads, particularly in rural and remote areas. This paper discusses the development of maintenance programs around emulsion use. It discusses the various applications and illustrates the simple manufacture of emulsions, formulation considerations and the applications of emulsions in road maintenance. Asphalt emulsions are sophisticated products, however the technology for manufacture and application can be codified and simplified to allow application from simple patching to full scale surfacing projects.

Recycled materials and industrial byproducts are being used in transportation applications with increasing frequency. There is a growing body of experience showing that these materials work well in highway applications. This study gathers the experiences of transportation agencies in determining the relevant properties of recycled materials and industrial byproducts and the beneficial use for highway applications. Information for this study was acquired through a literature review, and surveys and interviews with state department of transportation staff. The report will serve as a guide to states revising the provisions of their materials specifications to incorporate the use of recycled materials and industrial byproducts, and should, thereby, assist producers and users in leveling the playing field for a wide range of dissimilar materials.
The urgent need for infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance has led to a rise in the levels of research into bituminous materials. Breakthroughs in sustainable and environmentally friendly bituminous materials are certain to have a significant impact on national economies and energy sustainability. This book will provide a comprehensive review on recent advances in research and technological developments in bituminous materials. Opening with an introductory chapter on asphalt materials and a section on the perspective of bituminous binder specifications, Part One covers the physiochemical characterisation and analysis of asphalt materials. Part Two reviews the range of distress (damage) mechanisms in asphalt materials, with chapters covering cracking, deformation, fatigue cracking and healing of asphalt mixtures, as well as moisture damage and the multiscale oxidative aging modelling approach for asphalt concrete. The final section of this book investigates alternative asphalt materials. Chapters within this section review such aspects as alternative binders for asphalt pavements such as bio binders and RAP, paving with asphalt emulsions and aggregate grading optimization. - Provides an insight into advances and techniques for bituminous materials - Comprehensively reviews the physicochemical characteristics of bituminous materials - Investigate asphalt materials on the nano-scale, including how RAP/RAS materials can be recycled and how asphalt materials can self-heal and rejuvenator selection
