AN EXPERIMENTAL SULPHLEX PAVEMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA - FINAL REPORT
This report covers the design and construction of a Sulphlex Pavement in Pennsylvania. The project consisted of a control material, ID-2 wearing surface course material and the experimental material, Sulphlex wearing surface course material placed in a checkerboard on an existing flexible pavement section. Both materials were placed one and one-half inches in depth on a conditioned existing dense-graded bituminous pavement. The conditioning consisted of repairs to correct base failures and preparation of reflective cracks. A leveling or scratch course of ID-2 wearing course was placed to correct irregularities and two inches of ID-2 binder course material was placed to complete the preparation. (Author)
