Abstract
The research was also to evaluate tack coat materials and application rates for the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The project included a laboratory phase and a field phase. For the laboratory work, the experiment included two types of emulsion (CRS-2 and CSS-1) and a PG 64-22 asphalt binder that are allowed by ALDOT’s specifications. Bond strengths were measured with a shear type device at three temperatures and three normal pressure levels. Three application rates that encompassed the specification range were investigated for each tack coat.
