In an effort to promote and accelerate the widespread adoption and use of practical highway research results and improve communication by demonstrating the results, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) established the Demonstration Projects Program in 1969. Since its inception, more than 60 projects have been approved. One currently active project, a demonstration project on sprinkle treatment of asphalt pavements, was announced in November 1977. Fourteen participating agencies have constructed 25 separate demonstration installations in connection with this project, and one more is planned for later this year. A comparative summary of these projects is presented that includes the history and background of sprinkle treatment, design considerations and construction guidelines, economic considerations, and specific construction and performance data for each project. Information from sprinkle treatment projects and corresponding control sections is tabulated and analyzed. Recommendations are made based on the experience gained from these projects. The subject areas discussed include the following: aggregate gradations, coating rates and asphalt cements used for precoating, construction controls, equipment requirements, weather conditions during construction, placement problems and solutions construction costs, sprinkle aggregate retention, and skid performance with texture measurement and speed gradients. From the performance data gathered to date on the various demonstration installations, it can be concluded that sprinkle treatment is a viable alternative construction method for obtaining improved skid resistance characteristics on asphalt pavement surfaces of low-volume roadways, especially in areas where polish-resistant aggregates are not locally available or are expensive.
