  • Abstract:
    This research project evaluated the field performance of nine High-Performance Cold Mix (HPCM) products from various producers to determine suitability for inclusion on ARDOT's Qualified Products List (QPL). The test section was constructed in September 2024 on Hwy 338 (Sweet Home Cutoff/Dixon Road) in south Little Rock. Nine unique HPCM products, both bagged and plant-produced, were installed in simulated potholes and monitored over 12 months. Monthly inspections assessed durability, compaction retention, rutting, and adhesion performance. All nine products demonstrated satisfactory performance with minimal degradation through one full freeze-thaw cycle and a summer season. Based on the results, all tested products were approved for inclusion on the Department's QPL for HPCM. The research also established evaluation criteria for future product submissions, enabling ARDOT to adopt HPCM materials into maintenance and construction projects without requiring individual project-based approvals.
