Figure 6 Photo Surface texture of OGFC Ultra-Thin Bonded Wearing Course UTBWC is a specialty ultra-thin asphalt overlay used to restore ride quality while sealing and protecting the underlying pavement It can also be used to mitigate shallow (less than 05 ,
Know More
In a typical rural pavement (as shown in the figure), the top layer of the pavement is the wearing course Made of compacted stone, asphalt, or concrete, the wearing course directly supports the vehicle, provides a surface of sufficient smoothness and traction, and protects the base course and natural formation from excessive amounts of water
Know More
Wearing Course: The wearing course is the top layer of a pavement system designed to create a smooth riding surface and to seal the surface from water penetration The two most common asphalt wearing courses have a nominal maximum aggregate size of 95mm (3/8 inch) and are called 95mm and ID-2 wearing There is also a heavy-duty wearing course .

This allows the paver to drive over a rough, uneven pavement yet place a relatively smooth lift with extra HMA making up for low spots in the existing pavement Figure 2: Photo showing the existing pavement (left, front), a leveling course (left rear), and the final surface course (right)
Know More
A bonded wearing course (BWC) is a gap graded, ultra thin hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture applied over a thick polymer modified asphalt emulsion membrane The high binder content seals the underlying road thereby protecting it from water infiltration and slows down the aging process
Know More
Asphalt leveling course is defined as a layer of asphaltic concrete pavement of varying thickness spread on an existing pavement to compensate for irregularities prior to placing the surface or wearing course As you may or may not know, an asphalt pavement section or structure is made up of multiple and different asphalt layers (lifts or courses)
Know More
A bonded wearing course is relatively fast process, done using a single machine If used correctly, it can extend pavement life 10+ years, and cost less than conventional AC overlay Fog Seal A fog seal is a light application of a diluted slow-setting asphalt emulsion to the surface of an aged pavement surface

2 Inadequate Design Consideration: When the laid down design criteria are not strictly adhered to and applied, the dangerous result is the premature failure of the road ie the material used in the wearing course, surface dressing or structural concrete etc has failed before its predicted design life has expired

Mar 13, 2016· An indicator of good pavement performance in an unseal application firstly is the safety and rideability to the road user, followed by the routine maintenance expenditure For more information on Global Road Technology or unsealed road design please contact us
Know More
A road surface or pavement is the durable surface material laid down on an area intended to sustain vehicular or foot traffic, such as a road or walkwayIn the past, gravel road surfaces, cobblestone and granite setts were extensively used, but these surfaces have mostly been replaced by asphalt or concrete laid on a compacted base courseAsphalt mixtures have been used in pavement .

Apr 18, 2016· Whilst this process is quite well established, the success of a haul road pavement is very much dependant on the integrity of the wearing course from a safety, short term and whole of life cost perspective Typically, haul road wearing courses are constructed as unbound material using a blend of local natural and processed material to achieved the desired mix properti

Know More
road slab as a foundation In the sheet asphalt pavement, a binder course and a wearing course are laid over a concrete foundation The binder course, whose function is to prevent creepage of the upper course, is composed of broken stone and asphalt cement The wearing surface is a mixture of fine sand, filler, and asphalt
Know More
The pavement is constructed of either natural gravel or fine crushed rock, and can consist of 1 to 2 layers which may include the Sub Base, Base Course and a Wearing course The wearing course is the seal coat or asphalt layer To achieve a uniform and homogeneous pavement it is critical that the Sub Base and Base materials are
