Abstract:

This report contains the results of a study directed toward increasing the retention time of raised pavement markers on asphalt concrete pavement. The kinematics of a tire impacting a pavement marker was studied by high-speed photography, to guide development of a laboratory apparatus that simulates pavement loading by a tire rolling over a marker. A laboratory investigation of the effect of adhesive type on fatigue strength of asphalt pavement was made. It was found that bituminous adhesive is distinctly superior to epoxy adhesive on new asphalt surfaces. The distinction between bituminous and epoxy adhesive is less pronounced on stiffer (seasoned) pavements.
