... An increasing number of highway agencies have found that applying relatively low-cost surface preservation treatments can extend the service life of a pavement. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of France, South Africa, and Australia to investigate innovative programs for pavement preservation.

... The chip seals performed well on a wide range of pavement conditions. In fact, chip seals have the highest distress score for both high- and low-traffic areas.
From page 92...
... This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to setting a coherent strategy of cost-effective preventive maintenance for extending pavement life. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the practices of state, local, and provincial transportation agencies that are attempting to minimize the life-cycle costs of pavements and are identifying, during the design of the pavement rehabilitation, reconstruction, or construction projects, the future preventive maintenance treatments and the timing and funding for those treatments.
From page 93...
... The report presents ways to assist in the development and implementation of pavement preservation programs by identifying the benefits of using chip seal as part of a preventive maintenance program. Innovative and advanced chip seal programs from around the world were identified with respect to critical factors that can be incorporated by other transportation agencies.

... It describes how to use thin surface restoration techniques as preventive maintenance treatments, and provides guidelines on how to incorporate the use of these treatments into existing pavement management procedures. Provided in this paper are guidelines for the systematic evaluation of the performance of new treatments.
From page 95...
... Thin maintenance surfaces are seal coats (chip seals) , slurry seals, and microsurfacing.

... This paper discusses the application of pavement preservation strategies, such as timely crack sealing, chip seals, and microsurfacing, and the valuable role pavement preservation has played in achieving the pavement performance and budget management objectives of privatized maintenance contracts. The discussion includes criteria for identifying the appropriate application of specific pavement preservation treatments.
From page 98...
... This report identifies and documents pavement preservation research needs. The primary sources of information used to develop this report include a comprehensive survey of state highway agency (SHA)
From page 99...
... The follow-up evaluation and performance documentation, however, is not always done. During 1990, several preventive maintenance treatments, including slurry seals, chip seals, and thin hot-mix overlays, were applied to the existing pavements under the Strategic Highway Research Program's specific pavement studies experiment entitled Flexible Pavement Treatments (SPS-3)

... pavements. This paper describes the pavement preservation strategy selection process currently used by Caltrans for flexible pavements.
From page 101...
... It concentrates primarily on strategies and methods that are applicable at the project level, and not at the network level, where pavement management activities function and address such issues as prioritizing and budgeting. Detailed information is presented on seven specific concrete pavement preservation treatments: slab stabilization, partial-depth repairs, full-depth repairs, retrofitted edge drains, load transfer restoration, diamond grinding, and joint resealing.
