Ohio DOT Research Section webinar: Determining Bond Strength of Micro-Surfacing Mixes
2021-08-18 11:00 - 12:00
Micro-surfacing has been widely used by several transportation agencies including the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) as a preventive maintenance treatment in order to extend the service life of a pavement structure. The current ODOT specifications require placing a tack coat on an existing pavement surface prior to the application of a micro-surfacing mix in order to improve the bond strength along the interface between the two materials. Some industry professionals argue that tack coat is not necessary in micro-surfacing applications. However, the risk of not using a tack coat may include premature failure due to poor bonding between the micro-surfacing mix and the pre-existing pavement surface. Therefore, this unique research was initiated to evaluate the bond strength between micro-surfacing mixes and existing pavement surfaces with and without the application of tack coat in order to determine if tack coat is needed in micro-surfacing applications. This presentation will provide information on the comprehensive field and laboratory testing programs that occurred and highlight the findings and recommendations.

Asphalt Pavement Alliance webinar: Designing a Perpetual Pavement
2021-08-25 11:00 - 12:30
Pavement engineers have been producing long-lasting asphalt pavements since the 1930s. Research has shown that well-constructed and adequately designed flexible pavements can perform well for extended periods of time. Many of these pavements were the products of full-depth or deep strength asphalt pavement designs, and both design philosophies have been shown to provide adequate strength over extended life cycles. This is possible because both types of design rely on the construction of a sound base as a working platform and to spread traffic loads in addition to a thick asphalt structure designed to reduce the tensile strains at the bottom of the asphalt as well as the compressive strains at the top of the subgrade. This webinar will discuss material selection and mixture design to optimize Perpetual Pavement performance, discuss current Perpetual design practices, and present best practices for construction of high quality, high performance pavements.
By the end of this presentation attendees will be able to:
1. List the chief advantages of Perpetual Pavements
2. Describe the functions of the various material layers in Perpetual Pavements
3. Discuss the principle design features of Perpetual Pavements
