Abstract:

Asphalt emulsions have been in existence for almost 100 years in the United States and the rest of the world. They were first developed in the early 1900s, used in road applications in the 1920s, and experienced continued growth due to World War II and the energy crisis of the 1970s. Asphalt emulsions have found their way into every road building application from sealing surfaces, to bonding layers of pavement, to mixes for road bases and surfaces. The test methods for their identification, handling, application, and quality control have advanced as the industry has embraced their many uses. This paper gives an introduction to these test methods based on four categories: plant quality control, shipping and storage, application, and identification. A brief look at the future evolution of the testing of emulsified asphalt products is given to summarize this paper.
