METHODS OF APPLICATION AND BONDING STRENGTHS OF THERMOPLASTIC PAVEMENT MARKINGS ON CONCRETE AND ASPHALT ROADWAY SURFACES

The paper discusses a study to investigate various methods of application of thermoplastic pavement markings (TPM) on concrete and asphalt roadway surfaces and also to determine the bonding strengths of TPM on both surfaces. The main finding was that the grinding/scarifying method of surface treatment was the most effective and it provided the maximum bonding strength between the TPM and both types of pavement surfaces. Furthermore, the bonding of TPM with the asphalt pavement surface was stronger as compared to the concrete pavement surface.
