摘要: |
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) initiated monitoring of its first Superpave section on I-75 in Columbia County for stripping potential using AASHTO T 283, which specifies that all conditioned test samples be saturated to between 55% and 80% based on 7% +/-1% air voids. A fairly large saturation range is allowed because it was thought that mixtures may have different percentages of permeable air voids. However, the potential interaction between air void content and the level of saturation has not been fully investigated. It is also not clear whether test results from samples saturated to 55% are comparable with those of the same mixture saturated to 80% for a similar air void content. Therefore, although FDOT adopted AASHTO T 283, it also initiated a parallel study on the effects of different degrees of saturation on moisture damage. Findings are reported of both the ongoing monitoring of the I-75 project for potential stripping and the investigation of the effects of different levels of saturation on moisture susceptibility test results as determined using AASHTO T 283. |
