These seals are frequently used as pavement preservation treatme

23、nts on flexible pavements to seal fine cracks in the underlying pave- ments surface and prevent water intrusion into the base and subgrade. Because chip seals are not expected to provide additional structural capacity to the pavement, benefits ideally are accrued by their application early in a pave

24、ments life before a great degree of distress is exhibited. Although a large body of research is available on chip seal design practices, the design process in the United States remains empirical in naturebased on experience and judgment. Procedures that consider the surface condition of the existing

25、 pavement, traffic volume, environment, and other rel- evant factors in determining the characteristics and application rates of aggregates and binder have not been widely used in the United States. In spite of their apparent benefits, the use of chip seals for pavement preservation in the United St

26、ates is ham- pered by the lack of nationally accepted guidance on their design and construction and appropriate specifications and testing procedures for constituent materials. Thus, research was needed to identify the factors that influence chip seal design and performance and to develop a manual t

27、hat documents design and construction practices and delineates necessary testing and specifications. Such a manual will provide highway agencies with the information necessary for designing and constructing long-lasting chip seals and preserving pavements. Under NCHRP Project 14-17, “Manual for Emul

28、sion-Based Chip Seals for Pavement Preservation, ” Colorado State University of Fort Collins conducted a review of available information relevant to design and construction prac- tices of emulsion-based chip seals, conducted laboratory tests and field investigations to evaluate the factors affecting

29、 chip seal performance, and prepared a manual for designing and constructing chip seals over hot mix asphalt pave- ments together with test methods for evaluating some aspects of chip seal construction. The manual and test methods presented in the NCHRP report will be particularly useful to highway

30、agencies because the manual provides a rational approach for the design of chip seals used in the preservation of pavements and the test methods provide appropriate means for control of chip seal construction.

It documents best practices based on the findings of research during NCHRP Project 14-17, Manual for Emulsion- Based Chip Seals for Pavement P

40、reservation. In addition, certain subjective or qualitative judgments previously needed during chip seal construction have been eliminated in favor of field and laboratory testing. These include the moisture content of the seal before traffic can be released, judging surface condition so emulsion ap

41、plication rate can be adjusted for surface demand, and measuring the emulsion consistency in the field. The introduction of these new techniques should improve the probability of success when designing and constructing chip seals, but they do not replace the significant judgment required. Also, the

42、success of any chip seal depends on conformance to best prac- tices, and variance or elimination of these practices often leads to disappointing performance. 1.1 Definition of Chip Seals Chip seals described in this manual are based on emulsified asphalt binders and natural mineral aggregate chips.

43、The chip seal is constructed by spraying the asphalt emulsion onto the existing asphalt pavement and then dropping the aggregate chips into the asphalt emulsion. The purpose of the chip seal is to seal minor cracks in the surface of the asphalt pavement and provide additional friction. 2012 by the A

45、 seal is to be applied, pavement geometry, traffic volume and type, materials, and construction practices. The fol- lowing discussion describes these factors and their effects on the performance of the chip seal. 2.1 Pavement behavior and Condition 2.1.1 Deflection of Substrate The amount of deflect

46、ion is an indication of whether future fatigue can be expected. If deflection is significant, a chip seal may be inappropriate. The maximum level of deflection will vary depending on the traffic volume; however, if fatigue cracking is already present, chip seal performance may be reduced. However, a

47、 chip seal may reduce moisture infiltration into the subgrade, thus reducing the potential for future fatigue. Therefore, the decision to chip seal over existing fatigue cracking requires judgment depending on the performance expectation of the existing pavement. 2.1.2 Cracking Severity Chip seals a

48、re most effective as a pavement preservation technique before cracks are ranked as high severity (Peshkin et al., 2004), defined as a crack width of 3 8 in. Although the chip seal binder has the ability to seal cracks greater than this width, as crack width increases, the emulsion residue is less ef

49、fective at bridging the gap across the crack and sealants should be used to fill these cracks prior to chip sealing. 2.1.3 Flushing/Bleeding Chip seals may be applied to remedy friction loss, but penetration of chips into flushed pavement surfaces may limit effectiveness unless chips can be retained with lower emulsion application rates.
