... 4 Tack Coat Specifications, Materials, and Construction Practices common method to mitigate tracking is to allow the tack coat to break before driving or paving over it. The two next most common methods are to use reduced-tracking emulsions and to use spray pavers.
From page 2...
... 5 There has been a pronounced increase in interest regarding tack coat specifications, materials, and construction practices in the past few years, primarily due to the following: • Release of NCHRP Report 712 (Mohammad et al.
From page 3...
... 6 Tack Coat Specifications, Materials, and Construction Practices • Tack coat construction practices – Material handling – Equipment inspection and calibration – Pavement surface preparation – Effects of environmental factors – Tack coat application rates – Vehicle tracking issues • Testing and acceptance of tack coats – Types of tests used by agencies for acceptance or verification – Whether bond strength test specimens are loaded via creep loading, monotonically increasing stress or displacement rate, or cyclical – Whether bond strength tests specimens are stressed in tensile, shear, torsion, or some combination • The current and evolving state of practice • Agency responses regarding specifications, materials, best practices, and testing and acceptance Synthesis Scope Information was collected through a literature review and an online survey. The literature review relied heavily on the following documents and slide presentations: • NCHRP Report 712 (Mohammad et al.
