• Abstract:
  Recommendations are presented which were formulated on the basis of a literature review, on-site visits to construction projects utilizing sprinkle treatments in Texas and Virginia, and a representative workshop meeting. The sprinkle aggregate to be utilized as sprinkle stone should be based on established field performance indicating the aggregate to be non-polishing. Spread quantities and spread rates are recommended. Both plant mixing and road mixing techniques have been utilized to precoat the aggregate; emulsions, petroleum primers, precoating oil and asphalt cements have been utilized. Type D asphaltic concrete hot mix as specified by Item 340 is recommended; however, experience indicates that type C may also be utilized.
