Revision and further validation of surface performance-graded specification for chip seal binders

A Vijaykumar, AE Martin… - Transportation research …, 2013 - journals.sagepub.com
The design and selection of chip seal binders for adequate performance in service are
currently based on specifications that include tests of emulsion residues or hot-applied
asphalt cements at standard temperatures that do not cover the entire range of in-service
temperatures, measure properties that are not performance related, and do not consider
representative aging conditions for the critical first year. A surface performance-graded
(SPG) specification for the evaluation and selection of chip seal binders that addressed …

A Vijaykumar, E Arambula, TJ Freeman, AE Martin - 2012 - rosap.ntl.bts.gov
The design and selection of surface treatment binders in service is currently based on
specifications that include tests of emulsion residues or hot-applied asphalt cements at
standard temperatures that do not cover the entire range of in service temperatures,
measure properties that are not performance-related, and do not consider representative
aging conditions for the critical first year. Current specifications for these binders consider
properties of the material during both construction and in service, and a wide range of …
