The objective of this research project was to provide a comparative cost analysis of pavements constructed using stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures versus those built with Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WisDOT?s) ...

A large percentage of the asphaltic paving projects performed in Wisconsin are asphaltic overlays of existing concrete or asphaltic pavements. Due to varying performance of overlay, a standard set of guidelines is needed ...

A field evaluation of portable non-nuclear density gauges was conducted to determine their effectiveness and practicality for quality control and acceptance of asphalt pavement construction. Three portable non-nuclear gauge ...

Whitetopping (WT) overlay is a concrete overlay on the prepared existing hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement to improve both the structural and functional capability. It?s a relatively new rehabilitation technology for deteriorated ...

This research study was conducted to determine the influence of maximum aggregate size, lift thickness, and aggregate source on the density and permeability of asphalt mixtures designed according to the Superpave criteria. ...

The purpose of this study is the development of permeability and density acceptance criteria for hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements in Wisconsin. The work detailed in this report is Phase I of II. Databases from the Pavement ...

This report presents the findings of a research study conducted to develop modulus-to-temperature relations for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures used in Wisconsin. Surface deflection data gathered from in-place HMA pavements ...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the relationship between the performance of asphalt pavements in the field and the Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) values measured in the laboratory on the original asphalt mixtures ...
