Seal Coat
Top coat over pervious bituminous pavements
such as premixed carpet and grouted macadam
Thin surface treatment or single coat dressing
applied over an existing black top surface
Functions
Seal surfacing against water ingress
Develop skid resistant texture
Penetration Macadam
Used as binder or base course
Coarse aggregates are spread and compacted
and then hot bituminous binder of high
viscosity is spread at the top
Bitumen penetrates the void sand binds the
aggregates together
Premix methods
Aggregate sand binder are mixed before
spreading and compacting
Classified based on gradation of aggregates
chosen as
Open Graded
Semi dense and dense mixes
Common types are
Bituminous
Macadam
Bituminous
Carpet
Bituminous
Concrete
Bituminous Macadam
Consist of one or more courses of compacted
aggregates premixed with binder, laid
immediately after mixing
Laid in compacted thicknesses of 75mm or
50mm
Essentially a base course or binder course and
should have surfacing
Superior to other base course materials w.r.t
load dispersion and durability
AC surface
Sheet Asphalt
Dense sand bitumen pre mix used as
wearing coursecompacted thickness of
25mm
Well graded coarse to fine sand without
coarse aggregate sand bitumen
Laid over cement concrete pavement
Protects joints and helps in reduction in
warping stresses
Mastic Asphalt
Mixture of bitumen, fine aggregate sand filler
