Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction contains the papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction (AM3P, Doha, Qatar, 16- 18 April 2018). There has been an increasing emphasis internationally in the design and construction of sustainable pavement systems. Advances in Materials and Pavement Prediction reflects this development highlighting various approaches to predict pavement performance. The contributions discuss links and interactions between material characterization methods, empirical predictions, mechanistic modeling, and statistically-sound calibration and validation methods. There is also emphasis on comparisons between modeling results and observed performance. The topics of the book include (but are not limited to): • Experimental laboratory material characterization • Field measurements and in situ material characterization • Constitutive modeling and simulation • Innovative pavement materials and interface systems • Non-destructive measurement techniques • Surface characterization, tire-surface interaction, pavement noise • Pavement rehabilitation • Case studies Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in pavement engineering.

This report presents an improvement in the rolling protocol for chip seals based on an evaluation of aggregate retention performance and aggregate embedment depth. The flip-over test (FOT), Vialit test, modified sand circle test, digital image processing technique, and the third-scale Model Mobile Loading Simulator (MMLS3) are employed to evaluate the effects of the various rolling parameters and to measure chip seal performance. The samples used to evaluate the chip seal rolling protocol were obtained directly from field construction. In order to determine the optimal rolling protocol, the effects of roller type, number of coverages, coverage distribution on the sublayers of a multiple chip seal (i.e., the split seal and triple seal), and rolling pattern are evaluated using the results of aggregate retention performance tests, the modified sand circle method, and the digital image process. It is found that two types of roller, the pneumatic tire roller and the combination roller, are recommended as the optimal rollers for the chip seal. In addition, it is found that the optimal number of coverages for the chip seal is three coverages. Moreover, the performance of the triple seal without coverage at the bottom layer does not affect the aggregate retention performance, although the split seal does require coverage at the bottom layer. Finally, it is found from the MMLS3 results that the delayed rolling time between the spreading of the aggregate and the initial rolling significantly affects the aggregate loss, and that the delayed rolling time is related to the aggregate moisture condition and the ambient temperature. Effects of different rolling patterns are investigated based on the delayed rolling time and roller speeds, and recommendations are developed for two- and three-roller scenarios.
