Abstract:This report provides an integrated selection procedure for evaluating whether an existing hot-mix asphalt (HMA) ; pavement is an appropriate candidate for a bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (BCOA). The selection procedure ; includes (1) a desk review, (2) coring, (3) visual examination (site visit), (4) additional coring and/or laboratory ; testing (optional), (5) preparation of preliminary estimates (optional), and (6) a final report with design ; recommendations. This project also included an analysis of material testing performed by the Minnesota ; Department of Transportation (MnDOT) on numerous HMA cores to determine if the performance of existing ; BCOAs could be correlated to HMA material properties. The results of the laboratory testing were inconclusive. ; None of the existing HMA material properties tested could be correlated to long-term BCOA performance due to ; the high variability among the measured parameters within a section, the small number of cores per section, and ; the fact that the sections investigated exhibited little or no distress that could be attributed to the asphalt layer’s ; properties. Although no conclusions could be made from the limited laboratory testing, it is fair to say that the ; BCOAs from these projects were performing as designed.
