PERFORMANCE OF OPEN GRADED EMULSION MIXES

This paper describes a survey of open graded asphalt emulsion mix projects in the Pacific Northwest. The survey documents performance, distress, material characteristics, traffic history, and construction history of the projects. The paper describes a performance rating system used to evaluate the performance of the projects. The factors which influence projects performance and material characteristics are discussed and methods of accounting for them in a thickness design method for open graded emulsion mixes are enumerated.
