Development and Initial Validation of a Surface Performance-Graded Binder Specification
Presently, surface treatment design and material selection are based on experience and traditional specifications, which are not performance-based measures and sometimes result in inadequate performance. Though a Superpave performance-graded (PG) binder specification does exist for hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) binders, this specification cannot be applied to surface treatment binders because of differences in design and construction methods, structural functions and response behavior, distress types, and environmental exposure. Therefore, in 2000 the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiated a research project to develop a performance-based specification for surface treatment binders. This project developed and initially validated a new surface performance-graded (SPG) specification for surface treatment binders. Recommendations toward further validation and improving the specification were also made.
