BITUMINOUS TEST ROAD FOR STUDY OF MIX DESIGN CORRELATION WITH PERFORMANCE IN NORTH CAROLINA

REPORTS ARE MADE ON THE OBSERVED BEHAVIOR AND PERFORMANCE OF FOURTEEN SECTIONS, EACH 1000 FEET LONG, OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE AND VARIOUS TYPES OF BITUMINOUS SURFACE TREATMENT OVERLAY PAVEMENTS ON OLD PORTLAND-CEMENT CONCRETE. THREE TYPES OF COARSE AGGREGATE WERE USED: CRUSHED GRANITE, CRUSHED GRAVEL (ABOUT 50 PERCENT CRUSHED PARTICLES) AND UNCRUSHED GRAVEL. APPROXIMATELY 550 SAMPLES WERE TAKEN FROM THE PLANT AND ROADWAY DURING CONSTRUCTION AND AFTER THE PAVEMENT HAD BEEN IN SERVICE ONE YEAR WITH THE LOCATION OF EVERY LOAD PLACED IN THE ROAD ACCURATELY IDENTIFIED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE UNIFORMITY OF THE PROPORTIONING AND MIXING OPERATIONS.
