The haul trucks and all paving personnel must keep away from the line and not disturb it in any way. If it is within the specification limit, but below optimum placing temperature, steps should be taken immediately to correct the situation by contacting the plant. Incorporating Safety into Resurfacing and Restoration Projects The batch plant consists of the cold feed system, individual bins that hold and feed the aggregate to the drum dryer (Figure 501 3). Bulletin include test data for all coarse and fine Aggregate used in Maryland Highway construction. The tapered longitudinal joint shall be constructed by tapering the HMA mat; the taper shall have a 1 to 12 rise and the taper shall extend beyond the normal lane width. The purpose of the shoes is to allow one or more of them to pass over a high or low point in the existing surface without altering the slope of the whole beam. This material can be neat, unmodified or modified with polymers, rubber, latex, etc. A sublot is defined as 1 mile for this example of in-place 12 foot wide pavement. The density obtained by the paver screed is also a function of the speed of the paver. Bridge railings and piers, curb and gutter pans, and guardrails must be protected from the spray of bond coat by the use of shields. The finished mat should be smooth and free of blemishes. This section provides the mix design guidelines for Marshall and Superpave HMA mixtures for use on MDOT projects. After coring is completed, the inspector should check the layer thickness for conformance to the standard specifications. Sampling methods and frequencies should be discussed. Permits and Utility Coordination When a feathered joint is required, it should be constructed as follows. This equipment must be capable of accurately removing the pavement surface, in one or more passes, to the required grade or cross section. Material from the existing surface is milled out to a depth as shown on the plans, or equal to the top course, across the entire width of the joint and to a length of 35 feet minimum. Generally speaking, this means that vibratory rollers normally operate in the 2 to 3 mph range. 4 0 obj
Long and short waves can be caused by a fluctuating head of material in front of the screed. To convert the yield to mat thickness, the following will be helpful: 110 pounds/square yard = 1 inch of thickness. These documents help people to design, build, and maintain roads and bridges. A superstructure that spans the screed and auger areas ties the two together and supports the grade sensor. ~zWRGO#wnpOs1`(yvM>.D>N^-E*na71K7L.E5! MDOT's Highway Programs focus on the development and management of the department's roadsides, environmental efforts and policies, and federal-aid highway information. The base surface (road bed) over which paving is being performed. [ LlhwY6JgUMKu[N@Ws`#hm]4p{$dtm 32f.n4y9y{UU4oCnta'XfouA>8"DlygJu Yield = 93920 pounds/561.33 square yards= 167.3 lbs/square yard. A pass is defined as one trip of the roller in one direction over any one spot. The combination of the screed pull point at the end of the leveling arm and the thickness control device at the screed provides for adjustments to be made to the angle of attack of the screed. Pavement sags and rough areas may require a wedging course. Any dust and dirt left on the milled surface will greatly affect the bond between that course and the new overlay. This article returns the responsibility for these tasks to MDOT for all CPM surface seal projects, including those that contain 03SP505A, 03SP507A, 03SP508A, or 03SP508C. In addition, the screed imparts a level of compaction with the vibratory action of the screed. It is not required to have a stockpile with enough material to produce the recycled mixtures approved for the project. The amount of crown that can be introduced into the screed varies with the width of the basic screed and with the make and model of the equipment. These defects can be divided into two primary categories: equipment related and mixture related. The inspector should mark areas that will require wedging, which will usually occur when the existing pavement has depressions of 1 inch or more. Are roller wheels free of openings or projections? @c0M8;\ r)]-f3E|r ZVu~[ Close cooperation between the paving crew and the asphalt plant is essential in securing a satisfactory and uniform product. Aggregate is generally sized by means of a screen deck into two to four of these hot bins. The length of the auger extensions should, in general, be the same length as the screed extensions. Again, the temperature should be checked immediately. The screed is continually attempting to keep in balance all the forces acting on it. &[a);8fUcK@=fCW ?Qdo The three essential requirements of a bond coat are: Excess bond coat may create a slip plane between courses, bleed into the overlaying course and cause flushing. This 55 foot overall length assembly produces a mat with an exceptionally smooth riding surface. Job mix formula adjustments, retroactive. Is heating system in good working condition? The outcome of each conversation must be recorded; who told whom to do what, and what was the reply? Samples to be taken a minimum of every mile in each lane by milling or coring. *If approved by the engineer, in line crushing and/or screening will be allowed in lieu of processing RAP into a stockpile. Be in good condition with no holes or tears. The existing surface texture will determine the rate of application up to the maximum rate of 0.10 gallons/square yards. 81R ?+iKEsNAn#w Failure to do so will jeopardize full federal-aid participation. The fast rolling movements by some static roller operators may produce a good looking surface appearance, but density may suffer. Roller passes must be distributed uniformly over the width and length of the area being compacted. MDOT has ongoing government-to-government communication with 12 federally recognized sovereign tribal governments whose lands are situated within Michigan. It responds to and averages changes in mat elevation in the same manner as the floating beam. B. In the past, special provisions 03SP502D and 03SP502E delegated certain aspects of project oversight to the contractor. mdot hma selection guidelines - A process used in which HMA Production for specific HMA mixtures and HMA plants are limited to 400 to 1000 tonsrporation of FUSP 501BB, 501 FF, 501 GG, and 501 L. Changes made to Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Mixture Selection Guidelines in the Road Design Manual SP305A: HMA Base Crushing and Shaping: 3/27/2021: HMA . The majority of plants used are known as drum mix plants; the other, less frequently used type, is a batch plant. Additionally, a 301 Moved Permanently error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Resources for MDOT real estate standards, policies and procedures, and training. MDOT Microstation Workspace Instructions, Asset Management Guide for Local Agency Bridges in Michigan This process is typically used for superelevation corrections, placing a wedging course so that the leveling and top courses can be placed at a uniform thickness. In the event that an inspection is not completed prior to the expiration of the warranty, it is the departments responsibility to ensure that the inspection still takes place; however, this inspection should be completed only with MDOT forces. Trim the joint at right angles to the roadway centerline. One of the greatest contributors to a poor ride on an urban project is the improper adjustment of manholes. endstream

Research Administration supports and promotes innovative research that encourages safe, sustainable and cost-effective transportation solutions throughout Michigan. To exceed this one impact or more per inch of travel may produce small ripples in the mat when laying HMA. Whenever the temperature of the previously placed mats falls below 170F prior to placement of the adjacent mat, or when placing base mix and the air temperature is below 50F, the vertical edges of the initial mat shall be coated with HMA bond coat material before the mixture is placed in the adjacent section. The guidelines illustrate how to collect appropriate data, estimate risk of failure from an estimated failure probability and associated economic losses, and use risk in a structured approach to select an appropriate management plan. Most of our manuals, publications, and forms are available online. Paver speed for various production and application rates can be calculated using the following equations or selected from Figure 502-5. If two pavers running in echelon are used, the construction of the joint is similar to the building of a joint against a cold compacted pavement. Do vibratory rollers have automatic shutoff when speed is less than .5 mph? Document when immediate possession of the extracted cores occurs (core ID, date, time, etc.). Laying out core locations, discuss how it will be done. In addition, a RAP scalper screen is required**. 4643 0 obj

Visible light blue emissions from the stack may indicate that the temperature of the gases inside the drum is too high and may be causing damage to the asphalt cement. Alignment of the front edge of the extension is typically controlled independently of the alignment of the rear edge of the extension. This article returns the responsibility for these tasks to MDOT for all concrete paving projects, including those that contain special provisions 03SP602A and/or 03SP602E. This device consists of a short 12 inch shoe or ski that is used to reference the grade of an adjacent piece of pavement or curb. Regional Bridge Councils Contact Information The asphalt cement in the storage tanks should be kept at a constant temperature, normally between 275F and 311F . Resources for truckers regarding necessary rules, guidelines, restrictions, and permits, needed to safely transport goods throughout Michigan. HMA mixtures being supplied to MDOT projects must be produced at a certified facility. For the floating screed principle to work properly, it is important that the pull points on both sides of the tractor be at the same level above the ground. The breakdown roller should be as close to the paver as possible. This arrangement permits an average to be taken from the grade surface and another to be taken from the freshly laid mat. of seven wheels? Adequate compaction of the mix increases the pavement life, decreases permanent deformation, reduces oxidation or aging of the asphalt binder, decreases moisture damage, increases strength and stability and decreases low temperature cracking. These guidelines have been reviewed and approved by the County Road Association of Michigan (CRA) Engineering Committee, and concurred with by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Michigan Section, and MDOT. Resources for general work zone mobility guidelines for engineering and technical staff. The first yield check should be made as soon as the Contractor has completed all paver adjustments. A scalping screen should be placed in the aggregate cold feed charging system and the RAP feed system to remove any oversize material. A vibratory compactor should never exceed a rolling speed that will provide less than one impact of the drum per inch of travel. ECA Self-movable mobile plant. MassDOT publishes manuals and guidance documents for project designers, construction contractors, and others. When a change in one force occurs, the screed will rise or fall and will change the thickness of the mat being placed. Projects constructed under a warranty special provision still require inspection staffing and complete documentation prior to payment, including MDOT materials certifications, MDOT yield checks, MDOT quantity measurement, and MDOT Inspectors Daily Reports. Are the vibrators on the screed operating properly? MDOT's seven region offices each handle transportation-related construction, maintenance and programs within the region's geographic boundaries. This point is called the tow or pull point. This will help ensure that sampling technicians for the project are formally qualified by the department. The distance between the end of the auger extension and the end gate should be about 12 inches. The amount bid for HMA may be adjusted. Typical Use: Item 340 is typically used for projects with small quantities of hot mix asphalt (HMA). At a minimum, all repairs shown on the plans shall be completed. The rolling zone should be kept as short as possible. Pavement Type Selection Process; Ride Specification . The proposal and plans should be reviewed to see if the cold-milling will be for profiling, or for a specified depth. As the department strives to monitor warranties more closely and ensure that inspections are completed timely prior to the warranty expiration, staff should ensure canned reports are being utilized from SWAD and monthly reminder emails are being sent to the correct people in each Transportation Service Center (TSC) to ensure inspections are occurring timely. What number and type of rollers were used? Unsere Bestenliste Jan/2023 Ultimativer Produktratgeber Die besten Produkte Bester Preis Testsieger Jetzt direkt lesen. The distance the screed of the trailing paver should extend over the uncompacted mat behind the first paver should be limited to no more than 1 inch. This page was last edited on 13 January 2022, at 11:41. The method for determining the binder grade in HMA mixtures incorporating RAP and/or RAS is divided into three categories designated Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. The TRAC Internship is an extension of the TRAC Program and is designed to provide opportunities for 12th grade students interested in transportation and engineering careers. This includes, at a minimum, staff oversight at a level to perform periodic on-site inspections. The old saying Safety is Everyones Business is certainly true on an HMA paving project. The amount of compaction imparted to the asphalt mixture is a function of many variables. At the back of the paver hopper, and over each slat conveyor, is a set of gates. Experience has shown that these sections generally settle after a short period of time. The results of all daily and periodic tests conducted at the asphalt plant must be recorded on the appropriate MDOT form. Further, the extension must be set at the same elevation and angle as the basic screed to prevent the presence of a transition line, or ridge, at the intersection of the main screed and the extension. These trucks are loaded in the same manner directly from the silo at the plant. The names and titles of any people involved in the discussion should be written down, as well as the topics discussed. A bond coat is an application of an asphaltic emulsion to an existing surface as a bond or tack coat ensuring adhesion with the overlying surface and preventing displacement ahead of the roller. Plants are certified in accordance with the HMA Production Manual. . A multi-unit culvert is considered a bridge if the total length, as measured along the centerline of the roadway, is greater than 20 feet and the distance between the culvert units is less than half the diameter of the smallest unit. This type of roller must be equipped with a skirt around the bottom of the roller and within 3 inches of the new surface. 4.4 MDOT Standard Practice for Random Sampling of HMA Materials 4.4.1 Sampling In-Place Paving Material 4.5 Utilizing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Millings from the Same Project When Using a Portable Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Plant GENERAL Pre-Production Meeting A pre-production meeting should be held before work commences on a project. endobj
Ensure sufficient compaction capacity is available. The adjacent pavement, curb, or curb and gutter, shall be replaced to the original elevation, condition and type of construction, unless otherwise provided. Most drum mixer plants heat the aggregate, add the asphalt cement and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), if used, and mix all the ingredients in the same drum. It can also be provided by the TMI. The taper shall be constructed by the use of an approved strike off device attached to the screed that will provide a uniform slope and will not restrict the main screed. Certifications are good for one construction season only. See Figure 502-5 for paver speed based on yield and plant production rates. After the paver placing the top course has passed over the structure and the hand raking and shaping have been completed, it may be necessary to compact this area by the hand tamper method. The Office of Governmental Affairs represents MDOT's interests as new or amendatory legislation is developed or moving through the legislative process. The MDOT procedure used for selecting random core locations is by using a random number generating computer program. xc```b``"9@Y8\u],#(f`2=d`f: f

These guidelines will be incorporated into the next version of the HMA Production Manual. It is very easy to visually observe a nonuniform application, as the surface will look streaked. 1 0 obj
Multiple drops of the mix are necessary. The paver screed is a leveling device attached to the tractor unit at only one point on each side of the paver; it is able to float on the asphalt mixture and to provide initial mat texture and compaction to the material as it passes over it. Depending on the material and job conditions, this can be quite dramatic. Once the Contractor has finished the rolling operation, the inspector will identify the locations where the density cores will be taken; these locations are randomly selected both longitudinally and transversely. Deviations in the pavement surface are averaged out over the length of the grade reference device. Density is required across the full pavement width. This type of reference device is used only when the grade being sensed is relatively smooth. Any severely spalled areas at joints should be repaired using partial-depth repair methods. The incline of a paving surface in the direction of travel, expressed by stating the rise or fall as a percentage of horizontal distance. endstream

The bond coat material must be applied with an approved distributor with a uniform spray. <>
Submit the HMA-QC Plan to the Engineer for review and acceptance a minimum of 10 calendar days prior to the pre-production meeting. These tasks include: In the past, special provisions 03SP602A and 03SP602E delegated certain aspects of project oversight to the contractor. Asphalt cement is the material that holds the aggregate together. Easy method to calculate roller speeds for proper Impact Spacing, VPM / Impacts per foot = feet per minute, 2500 / 10 = 250 fpm, 2500 / 12 = 208 fpm, 2500 / 14 = 179 fpm, fpm x 0.01136 = fpm / 88 = mph, 208 fpm x 0.01136 = 208 fpm / 88 = 2.36 mph. A result of specified mix contaminated with inferior performing, non-specification mix. Local Bridge Advisory Board Contact Information, Local Bridge Program Public Meeting Announcements, Public Notice of Local Bridge Advisory Board Meeting October27, 2022- Location Change Stopping the paver and allowing the screed to settle into the mat. The screed extensions should be level with the main screed. `qr`@UtT! u#$$mB3B2(&qiB[g%R(ck7H,D"-Vg#Y If the random core location falls over a tapered joint, it should be moved to the first point that the mat is full depth. An approved grade referencing attachment, not less than 30 feet in length, may be used. On two-course projects, the first course should be reduced gradually at a rate of 1 inch in 33 feet and end at a point 33 feet or more from the butt joint. The faster the paver moves, the less time the screed sits over any particular point in the new mat, thus the amount of compactive effort applied by the screed decreases. See Figure 502-12. 2024 HSIP Selection List An asphalt mix that has all the desirable mix design characteristics will perform poorly, if not compacted to the proper density. An end gate is attached to the end of the screed to restrict the outward movement of the mix around the end of the screed. If the aggregate surface is left exposed to the weather, either allowed to dry out or become saturated by rain, sufficient tests must be made immediately prior to placing the mixture to ensure that density requirements are met. The Office of Communications works with the media to inform the public of MDOT's mission, policies and practices in a positive, consistent and credible manner. The paver screed will be equipped with a special template strike-off and a small weighted roller for construction and compaction of this joint. R1-6 Gateway Treatment When cold-milling by the ton is a pay item, a weigh person will be needed.
