Abstract:

This report attempts to provide a background of information useful in selecting types and grades for asphalt concrete, seal coats and surface treatments. In addition to asphalt type and grade selection, the report emphasizes the need for careful development of asphalt concrete mixture design requirements, seal coat and surface treatment spread rates and construction procedures as part of the overall planning activity. Field investigations generally indicate that these factors are significant and can be of greater importance than the type and grade of asphalt cement.
