MnROAD Finding - Importance of Sealing
PCC Lane / HMA Shoulder Sealing

Results
* 89% reduction between cells
•86% reduction within Cell-8
Asphalt–Deterioration asphalt–Increased roughness (ride)
Concrete –ML Observations (high traffic)
• None - PASB used• Some - Class-5 / well sealed joints / edge drain• High amount - Class-5 / no edge drains
–LVR Observations (low traffic)• If sealed class-5 is not as destructive• If not-sealed class-5 can develop joint damage
Benefits–Importance of drainable bases / sealing–Effect on ride
MnROAD Finding - Importance of Drainage
Optimal Timing of Preventive Maintenance Addressing Environmental Aging
TPF-5(153) Pooled Fund• Asphalt Institute• MnROAD test cells and other sections• Lab aging study with coring of roadways
treated yearly
Observations • The optimal timing to prevent aging of the
asphalt is 1 year after HMA placement• Surface Treatments are benefit to our
roadways
MnROAD Finding - Chip Seal Details
• CRS-2P on pavement markings• 0.36 gal/sy of CRS-2P emulsion• 18 lbs/sy of -3/8” granite chip• 3 roller passes• Fog seal CSS-1H diluted 1:1 (+shoulders)• 0.12 gal/sy and 1’ lap at centerline
High Speed Chip Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol5R7n8zGoc
Fog Sealed
MnROAD Finding - MicroSurfacing
LVR ~ 1999• Flexible MicroSurfacing
Mainline ~2000• Multiple Treatments Best• Double Micro• Micro with Crack Sealing• Micro with Transverse Crack Micro
Mainline ~ 2004 (HiMA)• PG 49-34 base AC (vs. 64-22)• Kraton SBS polymer D0243, at 6%• Scratch 12 lbs/sy• Surface course 15 lbs/sy• 16% emulsion (vs. 13% typical)

National HMA Cracking Performance Test
21
Partnerships• Utilize both MnROAD / NCAT Test Tracks
• Top Down / Reflection / LTC cracking Efforts• Range of cracking potential mixes • Battery of testing of many different existing tests Nationally
Goals• We need tests and criteria that relate to performance.• We need tests that are practical for both mix design verification
and quality control testing purposes.• We need tests that accommodate recycled materials, new and
future additives, and combinations.

Alabama Study Observations• Lee Road – 159 Initial Analysis Starting Place
• Developing the MAP-21 related benefit methodology• Curve development and expanding to all south, north locations
• Route and Seal – Good as a stand alone treatment• Overbanding – Good with Treatment Combinations• 3X Chips (High Vol) – Bleeding tendency• Thinlays good performance
Minnesota Study Observations
• Early – only 2 winters• Thermal Cracking Observations• Snow Plow Damage
