Title: Performance Evaluation of Tack Coat Materials
PI: James A. Crovetti
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Marquette University
Project: The intent of this study is to investigate tack coat performance using materials and methods common in the Wisconsin paving industry. This study will expand on the research done in WHRP study 0092-02-13 by investigating a means to reduce the risk of slippage by the proper untilization of tack coat materials. The objectives of this porject are to evaluate the adhesion characteristics of tack coats approved or proposed for use within Wisconsin, to develop qualitative realtionships between laboratory test results and expected field performance, and to recommetnd cost-effective combinations of tack coat materials and cosntruction procedures which result in satisfactory performance.
