SHRP2 R26 Pavement Preservation For High Volume Roadways HMA Pavement Preservation Treatments/Strategies  Crack Filling  Crack Sealing  Microsurfacing  Chip Seals  Ultra-thin Bonded Wearing Course (UTBO) x3  Thin HMA Overlay  Cold milling and overlay  Ultrathin HMA Overlay  Hot In Place HMA recycling  Cold In Place HMA recycling  Profile Milling  Ultra-thin Whitetopping

Northeast Pavement Preservation Partnership Portland, ME ♦ May 9th, 2017

SHRP2 R26  Through the Solutions Implementation Assistance Program initiative, MassDOT served as a “lead adopter” by hosting a pilot project to implement some of the strategies identified in Product R26.  Strategies consisted of three different Ultrathin Bonded Overlays mixtures (Control, Asphalt Rubber and Polymer Modified Binder) and four fog seals for shoulders (Control, Maltene, Gilsonite and Polymer).

Northeast Pavement Preservation Partnership Portland, ME ♦ May 9th, 2017

MassDOT Pilot Project Route 3 Northbound Burlington - Tyngsboro Ideal Candidate for Pavement Preservation - Minor cracking - Light surface raveling - Recent crack sealing to fill joints - Early signs of block cracking

- UTBO mixtures for travel lanes (1 million SY) - Fog seals for shoulders (400,000 SY) - Paving only the travel lanes reduced the duration of construction and disruption to the travelling public. Northeast Pavement Preservation Partnership Portland, ME ♦ May 9th, 2017

MassDOT Pilot Project Focus  Evaluate the impact of binders used on the performance of the UTBO thin overlay pavement treatments.  Evaluate the effectiveness of fog seals on paved shoulders.

Ultrathin Bonded Overlays (UTBO) SHRP 2 R26 Definition “Also known as an ultra-thin friction course, an ultra-thin bonded wearing course may be used as an alternative treatment to chip seals, microsurfacing, or thin HMA overlays. It consists of a gap-graded, polymer modified HMA layer (0.4 to 0.8 inch thick) placed on a tack coat (heavy, polymer-modified emulsified asphalt). It is effective at treating minor surface distresses and increasing surface friction.”

UTBO: “Spray Paver”

Placement of a heavy application (0.18 to 0.25 gal/sq.yd) of polymer modified emulsion immediately followed by a 5/8 to ¾-in gap-graded hot mix overlay. Northeast Pavement Preservation Partnership Portland, ME ♦ May 9th, 2017

Mixture Aging Procedures  Short-Term Oven Aging (STOA) Plant produced mixture utilized. Mixture was brought to compaction temperature with no additional aging.  Long-Term Oven Aging (LTOA) LTOA was conducted as outlined in a study by Braham et al. (2009) which determined it better simulated field aging. Specimens of each plant produced mixture were aged at 135°C (275°F) for 24 hours in a loose state.

Northeast Pavement Preservation Partnership Portland, ME ♦ May 9th, 2017

Discussion • Performance was similar between UTBO mixtures for the tests conducted. These trends required further field validation as service time increases. • MSCR testing of extracted and recovered mixture binders indicated reduced performance for the UTBO control binder. • The rheological plots indicated that the rate of aging might be similar for the three types of UTBO.
