This LTPP protocol covers the procedures for determining the chip seal design to be used as part of the SPS-3 studies. The design procedure will be performed in accordance with Appendix C, Design of Surface Treatments, Procedure B, of the Asphalt Surface Treatments (MS-13) Handbook, published by the Asphalt Institute. Use AASHTO T85-88I for determining the bulk specific gravity of the aggregates. Allow for 10% aggregate waste (E). Assume a traffic factor (T) of 0.65 and a surface adjustment variable (V) of 0.00. These latter two will be adjusted in the field to modify the residual asphalt spread rate as needed for site specific conditions. The asphalt spread rate will be used to determine the emulsified asphalt spread rate.
The results will be recorded on LTPP Test Sheet H14.
