ABSTRACT
The method of mix design for microsurfacing as described by ASTM
and ISSA, clearly stated that the methods for mix design should be
used only as a guide. Therefore, a more exact method is needed to
provide successful mix designs, based on performance-related tests
included in the design method rather than relying heavily on the
experience of the construction crew with these types of treatments.
The two method ‘Laboratory method of mixing and curing
microsurfacing mixtures (TxDOT, 2004)’ and “A Laboratory
Investigation on Bitumen-Emulsion Mixes” (Tipnis and Pandey,
2001) have been tried in the laboratory but there were some
limitations to these methods as balling could not stop completely
unless a very careful mixing of the mix is taken care off. Therefore, a
different mixing methodology of mixing coarse and fine aggregates
with emulsion is explored and is explained. where it is found that
forming of a ball during the mixing of aggregates with emulsion
appeared to have been solved, and no balling was formed.
