21 Interlayer Function Interlayer Reinforcement Definition: Increase the structural life of the asphalt overlay by using an interlayer with a modulus advantage over the asphalt Similar to steel in concrete Tensile / Elongation relationship Interlayer Reinforcement Elongation impact on Tensile Reinforcement Elongation determines when tensile of the interlayer is engaged to delay crack under strain Pavement at <3 5% Elongation Pavement at >5% Elongation HMA/WMA Layer, Min. 2" HMA/WMA Layer, Min. 2" Paving Interlayer to provide a moisture barrier and delay cracks Hot PG Asphalt Binder New or Existing HMA surface with cracks > 1/4" filled or Leveling course, Existing base layer Paving Interlayer to provide a moisture barrier and delay cracks Hot PG Asphalt Binder New or Existing HMA surface with cracks > 1/4" filled or Leveling course, Existing base layer 21

26 High Strength Grid In-Place Performance Measures In Place Validation Testing Plate Load Testing Figure 2 : Large Vehicle with 18Kip Axle Loads to Perform the Plate Load Test High Strength Grid In-Place Performance Measures In Place Validation Testing Plate Load Test Results This test with this pavement structure the GlasGrid TF reinforced slabs have a structural contribution that is approximate 1.5 times stronger than that of the control slab. This structural improvement can be applied to the AASHTO SN equation to determine what the contribution of the GlasGrid TF is to the layer coefficient. Sample Structural Equivalency Based on the analysis performed using the proposed sections, using GlasPave 50 can be equivalent to a thickness of 2 of HMA summarized in Table 1 26

27 Interlayer Placement Within Tension Zone for Maximum Performance Interlayer placement within the HMA Tension Zone is determined based on total pavement construction and traffic loading Traffic Loading HMA Base Compression Zone Tension Zone Interlayer can provide reflective crack reduction and moisture barrier High Tensile Interlayer In addition, High Strength Interlayers can provide structural contribution Native Soil General rule: Deeper gives maximum tensile contribution Place interlayer as low in matrix as budget allows. Can mill and fill to replace the surface wearing course and not disturb and need to buy and reinstall the interlayer In-Place Interlayer Effectiveness 60 % / 20% / 5 yrs $5.71 $7.50 $11.43 Comparison of reflective cracks Texas DOT TRB, January 1989 Add Fabric Cost 31% more 70% less cracks + moisture barrier Double AC--Cost 52% for 75% less cracks BUT no moisture barrier BUDGETARY 50kN Paving Mat Interlayer Cost/Benefit Calculation Value of crack mitigation, base structure preservation and maintenance savings Total Cost of HMA/WMA Pavement ONLY with NO Paving Interlayer Total Cost Installed HMA/WMA/RHMW Installed Lbs/" Tons/" $/SF $/SY Local Cost: $97.00 Ton Density $0.77 $6.89 Cos t/in Inch Thickness Cost for evaluation, engineering, design, specs, traffic control, construction inspection, QA/QC Total Cost of Pavement with NO Interlayer Cost to fill cracks for the years cracks not delayed Total Cost of Pavement plus added crack fill cost 2.0 $1.53 $13.77 $2.00 $0.22 $2.00 $0.00 $ $0.33 $3.00 CMF* Yrs to Crack¹ SY Cost Per Year $2.09 $ $9.39 ¹ The industry standard is that cracks reflect through HMA at the rate of 1 inch per year on average. ² Crack fill maintenance cost from Maryland study $0.30 Per SY/Per Yr Crack delay and reduced severity = less road closure and maintenance. 27
