Abstract:

This report documents the current state of the practice of tack coat specifications, materials, construction practice in both the United States and Canada. A literature review and detailed survey responses from all 50 departments of transportation are provided. Detailed case examples of three states are also included in the report and provide additional insights on the state of the practice, and the importance of the selection of tack coat materials, application rates and methods, and bond testing on pavement performance. The synthesis compiles information on the following: importance of bonding between pavement layers; definition of tack coat; purposes of tack coat; specifications regarding the use of tack coats; tack coat material types; tack coat construction practices; testing and acceptance of tack coats; current and evolving state of practice; and agency responses regarding specifications, materials, best practices, and testing and acceptance.
