18
Q

General term referring to any pavement that has surface constructed with asphalt.

A

Asphalt Pavements

19
Q

Normally, it consists of a surface (layer) of mineral aggregate coated and cemented with asphalt and one or more supporting courses which may be following types:

A

Asphalt Pavements Types:
Asphalt Base (Asphalt-Aggregate Mixture)
Crushed Stone (Rock), Slag, or Gravel
Portland Cement Concrete
Old Brick or Stone Block Pavements

20
Q

In Asphalt Pavements, the upper or top layer is ___

A

Asphalt Wearing Surface

21
Q

It may range from less than 1 inch to several inches in thickness, depending on a variety of design factors.

A

Asphalt Pavements (Asphalt Wearing Surface Layer)

22
Q

Generally, it is preferred to treat the granular material used in bases. The most common treatment is to mix asphalt, thus producing an asphalt base. A ___ thickness of asphalt base is about equal to a ____ thickness of untreated granular base when it comes to load-carrying performance.

A

1-inch, 2-inch to 3-inch

23
Q

When the entire pavement above the subgrade consists of asphalt mixtures, it is called ____. This is generally considered the most modern and dependable type of pavement for present-day traffic.

A

A Full-Depth Asphalt Pavements

24
Q

Asphalt Pavement Construction
Preparation of Asphalt Concrete:

A

Plant Mix
Mixed-In-Place (Road Mix)
Recycled Asphalt Concrete
Slurry Seal

25
Q

Asphalt paving mixtures prepared in a central mixing plant. Mostly done for high strength design requirement.

A

Plant Mix

26
Q

Mixture is done on site by rotary mixer or traveling mixing plant under moderate to warm weather temperatures. Emulsified asphalt and cutback asphalts are used in this method of preparation.

A

Mixed-In-Place (Road Mix)

27
Q

Combined reclaimed pavement materials and new materials to produce asphalt mixture that meet normal specification. requirements. Old pavements are crush into desired sizes and added as part of the concrete mix.

A

Recycled Asphalt Concrete

28
Q

Thin asphalt overlay applied by a continuous process machine. to worn pavements to seal them and provide a new wearing surface using emulsified asphalt. Uniformly graded aggregate from a particle size about the thickness of the finished overlay down to No. 200.

A

Slurry Seal

29
Q

Asphalt Spray Applications

A

Surface Treatments and Seal Coats
Tack Coats and Prime Coats
Penetration Macadam
The Roller Operation

30
Q

A sprayed-on application of asphalt to a surface, with or without a thin layer of covering aggregates, is called an asphalt ____. Sometimes these sprayed-on applications are included in the original construction. The addition of covering aggregates over the spraved-on asphalt restores and improves the skid resistance of the wearing surface. Surface treatments have waterproofing or texture improvement, or both, as their main purpose are called as ____

A

Surface Treatments, Seal Coats

31
Q

____ is a sprayed thin coating of asphalt to bind the existing and the new pavement. While ____ is sprayed on granular base so that it will seep into or penetrate the base and serves as a binder for the pavement to be constructed.

A

Tack Coats, Prime Coats

32
Q

Asphalt ____ pavement consists of one or more layers of large-sized broken stone and rock chips interlocked by rolling. Fluid asphalt is sprayed onto each layer, and it seeps into or penetrates the layer to bind the stones together.

A

Penetration Macadam

33
Q

Rolling should start as soon as possible after the material has been spread. Rolling consists of three consecutive phases:

A

The Roller Operation

  1. Breakdown/Initial Rolling – compacts the material beyond that imparted by the paver to obtain all of the density it needs.
  2. Intermediate Rolling – densifies and seals the surface.
  3. Finish Rolling – removes roller marks and other blemishes left from previous rolling.
34
Q

Deficiencies on Asphalt Mix

A
  1. Too hot
  2. Too cold
  3. Too much asphalt
  4. Too little asphalt
  5. Non-uniform mix
  6. Excess coarse aggregate
  7. Excess fine aggregate
  8. Excess moisture
  9. Miscellaneous
