• Description:
  This report describes a study comparing the performance of four types of cold hand patching material (cold mix) used by COOT Maintenance personnel. The primary objective of this study was to compare the cost effectiveness of the different types of cold mix. Six test sites were located state wide, then all four types of cold mix were used to make repairs at each site. The repairs were monitored for two years to compare performance. The results of this study show that proprietary cold mixes perform significantly better under adverse conditions than ordinary cold mixes. The increase in performance more than offsets the additional cost of the proprietary mix.
