Field measurements of emulsion application rates and pavement emulsion absorption in tack coats and chip seals
Highlights The in situ EAR can be measured using plates on the roadway and re-weighing after emulsion application in tack coats. The in situ EAR can be measured using the Tack Lifter device applied to plates in chip seal projects. The non-absorbed EAR can be measured using the Tack Lifter device applied to the pavement. Residual application rates can be determined by weighing pre-weighed plates or Tack Lifter sheets after curing.
Abstract Simple and practical test frameworks for field measurements of Emulsion Application Rates (EARs) in chip seal and tack coat applications are identified. The methods identified allow for local in situ measurements of the EAR that can be obtained during construction. For both tack coats and chip seals, the test methods identified allow for determining the EAR from residual binder application rate measurements combined with the emulsion water content. Implementation of the test frameworks established in this study could be used as part of a quality assurance/quality control program.
