Abstract:

Limestone rock asphalt products have been utilized as surface course materials on Texas streets and highways since the 1890's. This valuable resource is presently produced for road building purposes by Uvalde Rock Asphalt Company and White1s Mines in Uvalde County, Texas. Cold mixes utilizing flux oils and cover stone for surface treatments and seal coats are the products currently utilized as surface courses by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Production of these products for Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation use in both construction and maintenance approached 1,000,000 tons in 1978. From the above discussion it is apparent that limestone rock asphalt is one of the most frequently utilized materials in the state and that its performance on highway pavements is of particular interest to the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. As a result, the state has undertaken several studies to investigate the properties of limestone rock asphalt cold mixtures and to study the performance of these mixes on the roadway.
