FULL DEPTH ASPHALT PAVEMENT
The technique of "full depth asphalt paving" has recently become popular in some sectors of road construction. This paper discusses the potential use of this application at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Wisconsin is blessed with some of the finest quality asphalt roads in the nation. As such, any modification to current practices must show substantial improvements in the quality of the performance of the road or an appreciable reduction in the cost of construction. For the purpose of this paper, "full depth asphalt pavement" is one where the base course (typically crushed aggregate) is replaced with lifts of asphalt mix (with variable percentage asphalt content).
