With proper engineering and testing protocols the FDR process provides a design life-cycle of 30 years. FDR is a manufacturing process and not an installation. Other pavement materials, such as concrete, asphalt, or aggregate base go through a rigorous quality control program that meets a qualified standard prior to site delivery and contractor ...
The scrolls are positioned around the drum such that the ground pavement is moved toward the center and can be loaded onto the machine's conveyor belt. [2] The tool holders can wear out over time and can be broken if highway structures like manholes are encountered while milling. [2] The tool holders on the drum hold carbide cutters. [2]
Mastic asphalt is a type of asphalt that differs from dense graded asphalt (asphalt concrete) in that it has a higher bitumen content, usually around 7–10% of the whole aggregate mix, as opposed to rolled asphalt concrete, which has only around 5% asphalt. This thermoplastic substance is widely used in the building industry for waterproofing ...
Crack sealing and minor patching: Routine maintenance Fair: 5-6: Preservation treatments (non-structural) Surface repairs, partial-depth patching Poor: 3-4: Structural renewal (overlay) Extensive slab or joint rehabilitation Failed: 1-2: Reconstruction: Reconstruction
Rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC), also known as asphalt rubber or just rubberized asphalt, is noise reducing pavement material that consists of regular asphalt concrete mixed with crumb rubber made from recycled tires. Asphalt rubber is the largest single market for ground rubber in the United States, consuming an estimated 220,000,000 pounds ...
Maxwell Products, Inc. is a privately held, pavement maintenance products manufacturing company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. [1] Founded in 1975 by brothers Ted and Delwyn Maxwell, Maxwell Products manufactures asphalt and concrete pavement preservation products, including Elastoflex crack and concrete joint sealant, NUVO premium crack and concrete joint sealant, GAP Mastic, and GAP Patch.
Caterpillar soil compactor equipped with padfoot drum, being used to compact the ground before placing concrete Antique "Kemna" steamroller. A road roller (sometimes called a roller-compactor, or just roller [1]) is a compactor-type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations.

In the next step the sum of the converted layer thicknesses is calculated. [2] This sum is called granular base equivalency, which is a popular and important measure in pavement design and pavement performance modeling. [3] [4] [5]
