Effect of Traffic Load on Pavement Serviceability
Authors: Mikhail MY , Mamlouk MS 
Published: March 2009

Since much of the required infrastructure in the U.S. is already in place, the emphasis has been shifting to maintaining and rehabilitating existing roads. An important prerequisite for a proper maintenance and rehabilitation strategy is the knowledge of how traffic loads affect the pavement condition at different ages and under different vehicular and environmental conditions. Traditionally, empirical relations have been used to estimate the performance of various maintenance and rehabilitation treatments for the purpose of allocating funds. The present paper provides a rational technique to estimate the change in pavement serviceability caused by traffic loads under different pavement roughness and vehicle conditions. Once the condition is known at different times throughout the life of the pavement, a proper maintenance and rehabilitation strategy can be established.
In this study the vehicle dynamic model, COMPAS, was used to estimate the dynamic wheel forces applied on the pavement surface under different roughness levels, vehicle types, vehicle speeds, and suspension types. The dynamic response of the pavement and the permanent deformation accumulated on the pavement surface were calculated at small intervals after different load repetitions using the three-dimensional finite element program ABAQUS. Starting with a new pavement, the pavement profile and serviceability after different load repetitions were determined. Mechanistic-based pavement performance models were developed for typical pavement sections. The developed performance models can be used to estimate the number of load repetitions that cause the pavement to reach specific conditions throughout its service life. This information is essential for developing rational maintenance and rehabilitation strategies at the network level.
Evaluation of Hot Lime Slurry in Cold In-Place Recycling
Authors: Cross SA , Du J-C 
Published: March 2009

The use of asphalt emulsion with hot lime slurry in cold in-place recycled (CIR) mixtures was evaluated as an alternative to the use of conventional asphalt emulsions (AE) or class C fly ash. Reclaimed asphalt pavement was mixed with 1.5% AE, 8% and 12% class C fly ash, 1.5% AE with 1.5% hydrated lime, and 1.5% AE with 1.14% CaO introduced as hot lime slurry. The samples were evaluated in the laboratory for indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus and moisture sensitivity using AASHTO T283. Samples were tested in the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer for ratting resistance and moisture damage.
The results indicated CIR mixtures with AE and hot lime slurry performed better than either the AE or the AE with hydrated lime samples in tensile strength, rutting resistance and moisture damage. It is recommended that CIR mixtures with hot lime slurry be considered as an alternative to CIR with class C fly ash.
Design and Construction of Chip Seals for High Traffic Volume
Authors: Shuler S 
Published: March 2009

Chip seal construction is avoided on high traffic volume pavements because of: • Vehicle Damage • Short Life Expectancy • Noise/Roughness
This paper describes methods of effectively constructing chip seals on high traffic volume pavements (greater than 7500 vehicles per day per lane on four lanes, or approximately 30,000 ADT) and avoiding the problems indicated above.
Much of the research described in this paper culminated in the construction and performance evaluation of four experimental pavements designed to demonstrate effectiveness of chip seal applications on high traffic volume asphalt concrete pavements. Over twenty different experimental test sections were constructed as part of this study.
Performance of one of the pavements over the past seven years suggests that initial aggregate embedment must be higher than for chip seals carrying conventional traffic to resist aggregate loss within the first 24 hours of trafficking. Further, to avoid flushing due to the higher initial aggregate embedment, stiffening of the emulsion residues through modification appears necessary.
Effectiveness of Seal Coat Interlayers in Maintenance Overlays
Authors: Hossain MS , Parker F 
Published: March 2009

During 1992, three one-mile (1.6 km) long test sections were constructed on each of fourteen maintenance overlay projects in Alabama. A mile-long control section represented the usual construction practice of asphalt concrete overlay with a seal coat interlayer. Two experimental sections had a same and a thicker overlay without seal coat interlayers. Milled and unmilled projects were included. Cracking (alligator, transverse, and longitudinal), rutting and an overall pavement condition rating were considered to evaluate the effectiveness of seal coat interlayers.
Seal coat interlayers reduced transverse reflection cracking, but milling was more effective. Milling increased alligator cracking, but reduced rutting. Overall, neither seal coat interlayers nor milling improved overlay performance. Cost wise, seal coat interlayers and milling adds approximately $0.40 and $0.33 per m2, respectively, to overlay costs.

Test Methods for Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM): Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Hitch JL 
Published: March 2009

Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) encompasses a variety of fill materials that are primarily used as replacements for compacted backfill. The history of CLSM tracing back to its inception as K-Krete® provides a basis for how test methods came into existence. The American Concrete Institute's (ACI) work assimilating all of the knowledge gained throughout history, including a working definition of CLSM, resulted in a state-of-the-art report which brought this new fill technology to the construction industry. It was ACI who originally recognized the need for test methods to be developed specifically for CLSM.
The testing of CLSM became important, and the role that ASTM Subcommittee D18.15 on Stabilization with Admixtures played in creating standardized test methods is discussed. Background into how these test methods came into existence stems from experiences at the Bureau of Reclamation, the Ohio Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and Pozzolanic Northwest. The history of the current standard test methods for CLSM is rather short but quite important. Five ASTM standards currently exist specifically for CLSM which is just the beginning. Possibilities for additional test methods are explored.
Design and Testing Controlled Low-Strength Materials (CLSM) Using Clean Coal Ash
Authors: Naik TR , Kraus RN , Sturzl RF , Ramme BW 
Published: March 2009

The major objective of this project was to develop mixture proportions for controlled low-strength material (CLSM) using clean coal ash obtained from atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC). A clean coal ash is defined as the ash derived from SOx and NOx control technologies. The specific ashes used for this project were: (1) circulating fluidized bed boiler fly ash and bottom ash and (2) stoker - type boiler fly ash and bottom ash. These two coal ash samples were characterized for physical and chemical properties. Chemical properties and water leaching tests were also performed on the hardened CLSM. Many initial CLSM mixtures were developed by blending the two types of ash.
Tests conducted on the final three selected CLSM mixtures included compressive strength, bleeding, setting and hardening, settlement, length change of hardened CLSM, permeability, mineralogy, and chemical water leach testing. Results show that acceptable CLSM material can be developed by blending the fluidized bed boiler ash with the stoker boiler ash. Recommendations for a pilot scale manufacturing application of the three CLSM mixtures were made based upon the lab test results.
Developing Controlled Low-Strength Materials to Meet Industry and Construction Needs
Authors: Gardner MR 
Published: March 2009

A ready mix supplier in the Seattle marketplace took the initiative to develop and market controlled low strength material (CLSM). Seven CLSM projects over the past eight years are reviewed showing several examples of how the owner and contractor saved money by reducing both time and risk to employees. Aggregate options other than those used in conventional fill or concrete production were used.
Quality control of CLSM began with the ready-mix supplier providing all of the testing, and using the information internally. Testing laboratories are now testing CLSM and evaluating it as if it were concrete, this has driven the need for new ASTM standards specifically for CLSM.
Flowable Fill Backfill for Use in Sequential Excavations in Contaminated Soil
Authors: Walker MP , Ash JR 
Published: March 2009

The use of controlled low-strength materials (CLSM) or flowable fill for backfill of pipelines and adjacent to structures has become common practice because of ease of placement, lack of need for compaction, and relatively fast set time of the material. These properties are also ideal for backfill placed underwater or fill placed to allow sequential excavation.
CLSM was used to backfill excavations conducted to remove oil contaminated soil adjacent to foundations of existing structures and under standing water. The contaminated soil was sequentially excavated in narrow trenches and backfilled with CLSM, allowing excavation of subsequent adjacent trenches while minimizing soil movement into the open excavation. This sequential excavation would not have been possible with conventional compacted backfill. CLSM backfill was successfully placed underwater using tremie methods.
