Field Evaluation of Engineering Fabrics for Asphalt Concrete Resurfacing - Audubon County, HR-360, Construction Report, 1994

An asphalt concrete (ACC) overlay is most often the rehabilitative effort used to maintain the serviceability of either an ACC or PCC pavement. The major problem in durability of this ACC overlay comes from reflective cracking. These cracks usually open, allowing water to enter the unsealed crack and strip the ACC in the overlay. The stripping of the ACC allows accelerated deterioration at the crack. Two engineering fabrics were evaluated in this project in order to determine their effectiveness in reducing reflective cracking. These two materials are: PavePrep, Contech Construction Products, Inc., and Pro-Guard, Phillips Fiber Corporation. A 4.2 km (2.6 mi) roadway in Audubon County was selected for the research project. The roadway was divided into eight test sections. Four of the test sections are conventional resurfacing. The other four sections are split between the two engineering fabrics (two Pro-Guard and two PavePrep). A 75 mm (3 in.) thick overlay was placed over the entire project.

Engineering Fabric Repair Prior to Resurfacing - Roadglas - US 30, HR-525, 1992

In Iowa it is normal procedure to either use partial or full-depth patching to repair deteriorated areas of pavement prior to resurfacing. The Owens/Corning Corporation introduced a repair system to replace the patching process. Their Roadglas repair system was used in this research project on US 30 in Story County. It was installed in 1985 and has been observed annually since that time. There were some construction problems with slippage as the roller crossed the abundant Roadglas binder. It appears the Roadglas system has helped to control reflective cracking in the research areas. Since the time when this project was completed it has been reported that Owens/Corning has discontinued production of the Roadglas system.
