Evaluation of the Performance of Contract-Applied Seal Coats
The experimental project examines and evaluates the service lives of contract-applied seal coats versus the lives of seal coats placed by PennDOT's maintenance forces. A total of 80 projects were selected and evaluated in 8 different maintenance districts involving 7 different contractors. All of the work was placed during late summer and the early fall of 1979. Research Project 79-14 documented that seal coats failed due to a number of factors that are detailed in the report. Consequently, Project 79-14 is being closed in favor of the Research Project No. 83-14, Improvement Utilization of Surface Treatments, that is being conducted by the Bureau of Construction and Materials. Project 83-14 is a more thorough examination of seal coats and the possible changes that may be needed.
