Quantifying the Effects in Order to Optimize the Use of Grade 3 and Grade 4 Seal Coats

Since the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has almost 80,000 centerline miles of roadway to maintain, many of them routinely maintained with seal coats, this project was developed to establish guidelines for optimal seal-coat grade selection. The project was also to establish comparative data for tire-pavement interface noise levels generated by various types of seal coats.
