ASPHALT EMULSION FOR UNDERSEALING RIGID PAVEMENTS

SUBSEALING, VOID-FILLING, AND JOINT-FILLING WORK DONE WITH EMULSIFIED ASPHALT IN RECENT YEARS ON THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM IN NEW YORK ARE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED. TRIALS WERE MADE WITH EMULSION TO DISCOVER IF A LOW-TEMPERATURE-APPLICATION MATERIAL WOULD GIVE RESULTS COMPARABLE WITH MATERIALS OF HIGH SOFTENING POINTS. A SEASON'S USE INDICATED THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE NOT ONLY TO FILL THE CAVITIES BENEATH THE PAVEMENT BUT ALSO TO DO A SATISFACTORY JOB OF SEALING JOINTS AND CRACKS FROM BENEATH THE PAVEMENT IN THE SAME OPERATION.
