Abstract:

There were three main objectives of this study of the sulfur extended asphalt field trials on MH 153 in Brazos County, Texas. These objectives are stated as follows: "(1) to compare the benefits of sulfur-asphalt binder prepared in a mill as an emulsion with sulfur-asphalt binder prepared by by-passing the mill and comingling the molten sulfur and hot asphalt in the pipeline leading directly to the pugmill, (2) to beneficiate local marginal aggregates, (3) to compare SEA binders with different sulfur/asphalt ratios and to present laboratory mixture designs for study." See Appendices A and B of (4). These objectives have and are being achieved by continuing the evaluation of the MH 153 trial mixtures and pavement sections utilizing the SEA binders and the control asphalt cement binder through the planning, design, construction and post-construction evaluation phases of the MH 153 study.
