Abstract:

This report covers the construction of open-graded asphalt concrete test sections using one conventional and three different polymerized binders. The binders were: 1) Chevron's conventional AC-20 as a control, 2) Elf Aquitane's Styrelf with SB polymer, 3) Asphalt Supply and Service's AC-20R with SBS polymer, and 4) Chevron's CA(P)-1 with DuPont's Elvax (EVA) polymer.

This report also includes a summary of: pre-construction conditions, pavement design, test results and methods, the condition of the road just after construction, and cost data.

Satisfactory pavements were made with all of the binders. There were no major design or construction related problems. Minor problems included: 1) Styrelf and AC-20R tended to migrate downward through the mix, 2) AC-20R, and to a lesser degree, Styrelf left deposits on the surface of transport equipment, 3) all polymerized binders presented some problems with mix sample collection and binder extraction. None of these minor problems slowed the progress of the paving, and most were solved with innovations in either equipment or technique.
