• Abstract:
  The Oregon State Highway Division, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, participated in a demonstration project on the evaluation of rubber-asphalt chip seals. The trial projects were placed in Maintenance District 11, in the vicinity of Klamath Falls. The object of project was to give this type seal coat a working test. The process has been used for several years in Arizona. Sahuaro Petroleum of Phoenix, Arizona has been the major concern behind the process. ; Two small sections of rubber-asphalt chip seal were placed in the Klamath Falls area in July of 1974. The performance obtained from these trial sections was very good. When FHWA provided the opportunity for Oregon to participate in the demonstration project program to provide a more extensive test of the process, District 11 requested that the work be done in that district.
