Refer tothe International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) BulletinNo. 139.5.4 Composition of Slurry Seal
18、 Mixtures:5.4.1 A job mixture shall be selected that conforms to thespecification limits, and that is suitable for the traffic, climaticconditions, curing conditions, and final use. All materials to beused shall be pretested for their suitability in the mixture asdescribed in Section 6.5.4.2 The mix
19、ture shall attain an initial set in not less than15 min nor more than 12 h. The setting time may be regulatedby the addition of mineral fillers or chemical agents.5.4.3 The mixture shall be one of three types, whosecombined aggregates conform to the gradation requirements ofTable 1.5.4.3.1 Type 1 is
20、 suitable to seal cracks, fill voids, andcorrect surface erosion conditions. The residual asphalt contentshall be from 10 to 16 weight % of dry aggregate. It shall beapplied at a rate of 3.3 to 5.4 kg/m2(6 to 10 lb/yd2). This typeis used on airfields where surface sealing and skid resistanceare the
21、primary needs.5.4.3.2 Type 2 is suitable to fill surface voids, correct severesurface erosion conditions, and provide a minimum wearingsurface. The residual asphalt content shall be from 7.5 to 13.5weight % of dry aggregate. It shall be applied at a rate of 5.4to 8.2 kg/m2(10 to 15 lb/yd2). This typ
22、e is used on airfields andpavements that are severely eroded, or have numerous cracks.It may also be used as wearing surface on bituminous basecourses or soil-cement bases, or as a sealer on stabilized basecourses.5.4.3.3 Type 3 is suitable to provide a new wearing surfaceor build up a crown. The re
23、sidual asphalt content shall be from6.5 to 12 weight % of dry aggregate. It shall be applied at a rateof 8.2 or more kg/m2(15 or more lb/yd2).5.4.4 Consistency TestThis test is used to determineoptimum mix design for aggregate, filler, water, and emulsion.A flow of 2 to 3 cm (1 in.) is considered to
24、 be the consistencynormally required for a workable field mix (see 6.1).5.4.5 Set TimeThis test determines the time required forslurry to reach initial set with paper blot method. A properlymix-designed slurry should be set at the end of 12 h. C128-hset time is considered acceptable for a quick sett
25、ing slurry (see6.2).5.4.6 Cure TimeThis test is used to determine initialcohesion of slurry mat and resistance to traffic. A properlydesigned slurry mix should be completely cured at the end of24 h after placement (see 6.3).5.4.7 Wet Track Abrasion TestThis test method coversmeasurement of the weari
26、ng qualities of slurry seal under wetabrasion conditions.NOTE 1As a guide, slurry shall not show a loss of more than 807.44g/m2(75 g/ft2).6. Test Methods for Emulsified Asphalt Slurry Seal6.1 Consistency Test:6.1.1 This test method is used to determine the properconsistency (mix design) for a slurry
27、 seal mixture.6.1.2 The consistency test should be performed as a methodof determining the optimum mix design (proper ratio ofaggregate, filler, water, and emulsion) as related to properconsistency for pavement surface placement. Several mixes aremade using dried aggregate and various ratios of port
28、landcement, or hydrated lime and or chemical modifier, water andasphalt emulsion. Mix time shall be for no less than 1 min andnot longer than 3 min when mixed at 25 6 1C (77 6 3F).NOTE 2Ideal relative humidity for this test is 50 6 5 %. Results willvary at different relative humidity values.6.1.3 Mo
29、ld, metal or plastic, in the form of a frustum of acone 38 mm (112 in.) in diameter at the top, 89 mm (312 in.) indiameter at the bottom and 76 mm (3 in.) in height (see TestMethod C128 and Fig. 1).6.1.4 The center of a 228 by 228-mm (9 by 9-in.) piece of3-mm (18-in.) thick metal plate is inscribed
30、with a circle 89 mm(312 in.) in diameter. Three to four additional circles, each 13mm (12 in.) greater in diameter than the preceding circle, areinscribed on the metal plate around the center circle.NOTE 3Plastic plates are subject to eventual crazing and abrasion lossof the inscribed circles.6.1.5
31、The mold as described in 6.1.3 is loosely filled with atest slurry mix and struck off. The mold and contents are theninverted in the center of the metal plate as described in 6.1.4 byplacing the inscribed surface of the metal plate on the slurry-filled cone which, while holding cone and plate firmly
32、 together,is quickly inverted. The mold is removed and the contentsallowed to flow over the inscribed circles until flow of theslurry stops. Project aggregate and emulsion grade are consid-ered essential for proper relevancy of the method.NOTE 4Referenced ISSATechnical Bulletin No. 106 titled “Measu
33、re-ment of Slurry Seal Consistency.”36.2 Set Time:6.2.1 This test method is used to determine the time requiredfor the slurry mat to reach initial set (resistance to paper blot).6.2.2 The slurry mix or mixtures that provide the desiredconsistency shall be repeated to determine their setting char-act
34、eristics. A mix passing the consistency test is poured onto a152 by 152-mm (6 by 6-in.) asphalt felt pad (13.6 kg (30 lb)roofing felt) and screeded to 6 mm (14 in.) thickness using a6-mm template. At the end of 15 min, at 25 6 1C (77 6 3F)and 506 5 % relative humidity, a white paper towel or tissuei
35、s lightly pressed or blotted on the slurry surface. If no brownD3910 112stain is transferred to the paper, the slurry is considered set. Ifa brown stain does appear, repeat the blot procedure at 15-minintervals.After3hofblotting, 30-min (or longer) blot intervalswould be suitable. Record and report
36、the time required toobtain a stain-free blot as the set time.6.3 Cure Time:6.3.1 Total cure of a slurry mat is obtained when completecohesion between asphalt-coated aggregate particles occurs. Acohesion testing device is used to measure cure time.6.3.2 A slurry mix of optimum design obtained from us
37、e ofthe consistency test (see 5.4.4), is screeded onto a roofing feltpad to a thickness not exceeding the height of the largestaggregate fragment present in the mix. A template is recom-mended to obtain uniform thickness of the slurry mat.6.3.3 After set of the slurry mat has occurred (5.4.5), thema
38、t is placed beneath the pneumatically actuated rubber foot(25.4 mm (1 in.) in diameter) of the cohesion tester (see 6.3.4).4A pressure of 193 kPa (285psi) is considered to be equivalentto that exerted by an average automobile. The rubber foot istwisted by means of a hand torque tester (see 6.3.4) wh
39、ichreads in inch pounds or inch ounces (see Table 2). The torqueprocedure is repeated at 1530 min intervals until the highesttorque reading obtainable remains constant. An undisturbedsite on the slurry pad should be selected for each time-intervaltest. The time required to reach a constant maximum t
40、orque oruntil the rubber foot rides freely over slurry mat without anyaggregate particles being dislodged, is recorded as the curetime.6.3.4 Cohesion tester is a lightweight, portable device whichcan be adjusted to apply varying pressure to a slurry pad (seeFigs. 2 and 3). Torque can be applied with
41、 a torqometer. Thecohesion tester can be used in the laboratory or field and can bepressured with in-house air, a portable compressor, or a simplebicycle tire pump.6.4 Wet Track Abrasion Test:6.4.1 Summary of Test Method:6.4.1.1 A slurry mixture of fine graded aggregate, asphaltemulsion, and water i

The slurry is formed into adisk by pouring in the circular opening of a poly(methyl)methacrylate (PMMA) template resting on a larger circlet of13.62-kg (30-lb) roofing felt.4A suitable rubber foot, having a durometer hardness ran
43、ge of 50 to 70, can becut from a used automobile tire.FIG. 1 Cone Consistency TestD3910 1136.4.1.2 After removal of the template, the disk-shapedspecimen is dried to constant weight at 60C (140F). Thecured slurry is placed in a water bath for 1 h, then mechanicallyabraded under water with a rubber h
44、ose for 5 min. The abradedspecimen is washed free of debris, dried at 60C (140F) andweighed. The loss in weight expressed as grams per squaremetre (or square foot) is reported as the wear value (WTATloss).6.4.2 Apparatus:6.4.2.1 Balance, capable of weighing 5 000 g to within61.0 g.6.4.2.2 Planetary
