Title: RESEARCH PAYS OFF: MAINE DOT CALCULATES BITUMINOUS OVERLAY QUANTITIES--ASAP
Accession Number: 00621575
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Before the application of layers of surface course for an overlay project, the Maine Department of Transportation (MeDOT) has historically used a layer of bituminous leveling course to fill ruts and restore the road to the designed cross slope. Methods used to estimate the quantities of this leveling course (referred to as "shim") and their problems are described, followed by a description of a new method developed by the MeDOT to overcome these problems. The new method employs a data-acquisition vehicle and user-friendly software called ASAP, which stands for ARAN (registered trademark) Shim Analysis Program. Further details on the application of ASAP and its benefits are included in this article.
