8、a pavement surface is sprayed with asphalt (generally emulsified) and then immediately covered with aggregate and rolled. Chip seals are used primarily to seal the surface of a pavement with non-load-associated cracks and to improve surface friction, although they also are commonly used as a wearing

Non-working cracks are defined as those that experience minor horizontal movements, generally less than 2 mm (0.1 in.). Crack filling should be distingui

Working cracks are defined as those that experience significant horizontal movements, generally greater than about 2 mm (0.1 in.). 3.2.5. dense-graded asphalt overlayan overlay course consisting of a mix of asphalt binder and a well-graded (also called dense-graded) aggregate. A well-graded aggr

It is used to renew old asphalt surfaces and to seal small crack

13、s and surface voids. 3.2.7. micro surfacinga mixture of polymer-modified emulsified asphalt, mineral aggregate, mineral filler, water, and other additives; properly proportioned, mixed, and spread on a roadway surface. 3.2.8. sand sealan application of asphalt material covered with fine aggregate. I

14、t may be used to improve the skid resistance of slippery pavements and to seal against air and water intrusion. 3.2.9. sandwich seala surface treatment that consists of an application of a large aggregate, followed by an application of emulsified asphalt that is in turn covered with an application o

15、f smaller aggregate. Sandwich seals are used to seal the surface and improve skid resistance. 3.2.10. scrub sealapplication of a emulsified asphalt to the pavement surface followed by the broom scrubbing of the asphalt into cracks and voids, then the application of an even coat of sand or small aggr

16、egate, and finally a second brooming of the aggregate and asphalt mixture. This seal is then rolled with a pneumatic tire roller. 3.2.11. slurry seala mixture of slow-setting emulsified asphalt, well-graded fine aggregate, mineral filler, and water. It is used to fill cracks and seal areas of old pa

17、vements, to restore a uniform surface texture, to seal the surface to prevent moisture and air intrusion into the pavement, and to provide skid resistance. 4. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1. Emulsified asphalts are mixtures of asphalt binders, water, and emulsifying agents. They may contain other additive

18、s to meet certain grades. Emulsified asphalt grades and types have different uses. 4.2. Emulsified asphalts are named using a prefix and a suffix. The prefix identifies the type and class of emulsified asphalt and the suffix identifies the grade. 2017 by the American Association of State Highway and

19、 Transportation Officials. All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-2a R 5-3 AASHTO 4.2.1. TypeThere are four types of emulsified asphalts that are distinguished by how fast the emulsified asphalt will set or coalesce. The four types are designated with the prefix: 4.2.1.

20、1. SS-slow set, 4.2.1.2. MS-medium set, 4.2.1.3. RS-rapid set, and 4.2.1.4. QS-quick set. 4.2.2. Class: 4.2.2.1. Emulsified asphalt is classified based on particle charge of the asphalt droplets within the water phase of the suspension. Anionic emulsified asphalt has a negative charge and cationic e

21、mulsified asphalt has a positive charge. 4.2.2.2. There are also a limited number of emulsified asphalts with no appreciable charge and they are classified as nonionic. 4.2.2.3. Cationic emulsified asphalts are designated by including the letter “C” before the prefix (i.e., CRS-2). Anionic emulsifie

22、d asphalts are designated without including an additional letter or number in the prefix (i.e. RS-2). 4.2.2.4. High-float emulsified asphalt is a class of emulsified asphalt that can be either anionic or cationic. High-float emulsified asphalt is formulated with a gel structure to produce a thicker

23、asphalt coating on aggregates. They are designated with the letters “HF” before the prefix (i.e., HFRS-2). 4.2.3. Grade: 4.2.3.1. Emulsified asphalts are produced in two viscosity grades. The suffix “1” indicates low-viscosity emulsified asphalts and suffix “2” indicates high-viscosity emulsified as

24、phalts. 4.2.3.2. Emulsified asphalts are designated in three stiffness categories: 4.2.3.2.1. Hard asphalt residue (lower penetration) is designated with an “h” (i.e., CRS-1h). 4.2.3.2.2. Soft asphalt residue (higher penetration) is designated with an “s” (i.e., CRS 1s). 4.2.3.2.3. The intermediate

25、stiffness category, between hard and soft, is designated without an additional letter or number (i.e., CRS-1). 4.2.3.3. “P” is used to designate polymer-modified emulsified asphalts (i.e., CRS-2P). The modifier may be either a solid or latex polymer. The modifier may be added either to the asphalt b

26、inder or emulsifier solution prior to the emulsification process. 4.3. Typical uses of different grades of emulsified asphalts are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Note that other factors that need to be considered include: 4.3.1. Ambient temperature at time of use, 4.3.2. Aggregate type and gradation, 4.3.
