• Discuss Modified Asphalt Binder Usage in

Arkansas

• Discuss Arkansas Interstate Rehabilitation

Program

• Discuss Performance of Arkansas Interstate

Rehabilitation Program ACHM Pavements

3% Polymer by weight of Asphalt Binder

SBR, SBS, or SB

• November 1995 - Implemented 100% Usage of Performance Graded

Asphalt Binders in All Asphalt Concrete Hot Mixes by Job

Arkansas Interstates

A Reason for the Need of tneInterstate Rehabilitation Program

The Plan

• Rubblize and Overlay 276 Miles Bad Performing

Interstate Highway with Polymer Modified

Asphalt Concrete Hot Mix

• Mill and Inlay 64 Miles of Old Interstate ACHM

Pavement with Polymer Modified Asphalt

Concrete Hot Mix

• Reconstruct 40 Miles of PCCP from the Subgrade

UP• Complete within 5 Years

Interstate Rehabilitation Program

Minneapolis, Minnesota

April 7 & 8, 2009

• Interstate Rehabilitation Program Concurrent But Separate Program

from Regular Construction Program

• Interstate Rehabilitation Program Projects Were Let to Contract

under Supplemental Specifications Which Were Later

Incorporated in the Standard Specifications Edition 2003

• June 2000 ― 1st IRP Project Work Order Issued

• April 2005 ― Next to Last IRP Project and Last Asphalt Project

Accepted

AHTD Standard Specification For Modified Asphalt Binder

• 404.01(b) … Asphalt binder shall comply with the

requirements of AASHTO M 320 Table 1, except the

Direct Tension requirements are deleted, and shall be

from sources that have executed a certification

agreement with the Department. PG 70-22 and PG 76-22

asphalt binders shall be production straight run binders

that are modified by using either a SB, SBS or SBR to

achieve the specified grade. ….

• March 16, 2009 ― Learned That PolyPhosphoric

Acid Used in Production of Significant Quantiy of

PG 76-22 in Arkansas’ Interstate Rehabilitation

Program ACHM

• Mix Designs Performed by the Contractor or

Independent Laboratory

• AHTD Verifies AB Content

• AHTD Performs Rutting Potential of Laboratory Sample

at Design Asphalt Binder Content with APA

• If Mix Design Is within Specification Limit, Mix Design Is

Allowed to Be Used on Project

Has Changed People’s Perception of

Arkansas Interstates

Performance?

POOR – IRI ≥ 170 (in/mi)

FAIR – 120 > IRI ≥ 95 (in/mi)

GOOD – IRI < 95 (in/mi)

Interstate Condition Rating Per IRI

Interstate Condition - 2006

AHTD Projected 2016 Pavement

Condition Rating If Interstate

Pavements Are Left As Is

Pavement Distress To-date

• Delamination and Cracking of a Section of Pavement

• Isolated Spots of Asphalt Flushing

• Isolated Rutting on Inside Lane of One Project

• Isolated Pavement Ripples on Inside Lane of One

Project

• A Portion of the Asphalt Binder Contained

PolyPhosphoric Acid.

• In My Opinion The Arkansas State Highway and

Transportation Department Interstate Rehabilitation

Program Modified Asphalt Binders and the Finished ACHM

Pavements Constructed Are Performing As Intended and in

A Satisfactory Manner..

• The PolyPhosphoric Acid Appears to Have Performed Its

Function in the Asphalt Binder Modification Process andACHM Performance.

Are the Arkansas Interstate Rehabiltation

Program Polymer Modified ACHM Pavements

Performing at an Exceptable Level?
