Pavement Preservation and Maintenance Private Roads Maintenance Workshop August 18, 2012 ASPHALT SMOOTH | DURABLE | SAFE | QUIET
Pavement Maintenance Types Preventive (Proactive) Preserves good condition pavement Arrest light deterioration Retard progressive failures Reduce need for corrective maintenance Corrective (Reactive) After deficiency occurs; more expensive Load carrying ability Waterproofing (cracks) Surface slope (rutting) Surface roughness
Pavement Preservation Techniques Crack Seal (for Flexible / Asphalt Pavements) Fog Seal Slurry Seal Thin HMA Overlay Ultrathin Bonded Wearing Course Micro-Surfacing
Crack Sealing Routine maintenance Cleaning & sealing Prevents intrusion of water & incompressible materials
Crack Sealing Extent of Problem Effective High severity Low severity Distress Type Marginal Fatigue Cracking Linear or Block Crack. Rutting Raveling Bleeding Roughness Texture Loss Moisture Damage No Impact Not Appropriate For identification of severity of distress: SHRP P338 Distress Manual
Surface Treatments Typically used to: Seal cracks Waterproof surface Improve surface texture Rejuvenate surface
Fog Seal Seal pavement Inhibit raveling Enrich hardened/ oxidized asphalt Provide delineation with shoulder
Fog Seal Extent of Problem Effective High severity Low severity Distress Type Marginal Fatigue Cracking Linear or Block Crack. Rutting Raveling Bleeding Roughness Texture Loss Moisture Damage No Impact Not Appropriate
Slurry Seal Type I (small aggregate) Seal surface cracks Type II (medium aggregate) Correct raveling/ oxidation Type III (larger aggregate) Fill minor surface irregularities and restore surface texture
Slurry Seal Extent of Problem Effective High severity Low severity Distress Type Marginal Fatigue Cracking Linear or Block Crack. Rutting Raveling Bleeding Roughness Texture Loss Moisture Damage No Impact Not Appropriate
Micro-Surfacing Inhibit raveling & surface oxidation Improve surface texture Fill ruts/minor surface irregularities Seal pavement surface
Micro-Surfacing Extent of Problem Effective High severity Low severity Distress Type Marginal Fatigue Cracking Linear or Block Crack. Rutting Raveling Bleeding Roughness Texture Loss Moisture Damage No Impact Not Appropriate
Ultrathin Bonded Wearing Course Porous Firmly bond to existing surface Seal pavement Increase surface macro-texture Address surface distress Reduce back-spray improving visibility
Thin Overlay Improve smoothness and surface texture Address surface distress Improve profile, crown, and cross-slope
Thin Overlay Extent of Problem Effective High severity Low severity Distress Type Marginal Fatigue Cracking Linear or Block Crack. Rutting Raveling Bleeding Roughness Texture Loss Moisture Damage No Impact Not Appropriate
Benefits of Pavement Preservation The “right” treatment At the “right” time On the “right” project Extended life or serviceability Lower life-cycle costs (cost effectiveness)
