accordance with Section 408 of the Arkansas State Highway Commission Standard Specification for Highway Construction.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 INSPECTION: Examine the areas and conditions under which asphalt concrete paving is to be installed. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.02 SURFACE PREPARATION:

A. Remove all loose material from compacted subbase surface immediately before applying prime coat. Proof roll prepared subbase surface to check for unstable areas and areas requiring additional compaction. Do not

02511 - 2 begin paving work until deficient subbase areas have been corrected and are ready to receive paving.

B. Prime Coat: Apply at the rate of 0.2 to 0.5 gal. per sq. yd., over compacted subgrade. Apply material to penetrate seal, but not flood surface. Cure and dry as long as necessary to obtain penetration and evaporation of volatiles.

C. Tack Coat: Apply to contact surfaces of previously constructed asphalt or

Portland cement concrete and surfaces abutting or projecting into asphalt concrete pavement. Distribute at rate of 0.05 to 0.15 gal. per sq. yd. of surface. Allow to dry until at proper condition to receive paving.

3.03 PLACING THE MIX: Place asphalt concrete mixture on prepared surface, spread and strike-off. Spread mixture at minimum temperature of 225 F. Place inaccessible and small areas by hand. Place each course to required grade, cross-section, and compacted thickness.

A. Paver Placing: Place in strips not less than 10’ wide, unless otherwise acceptable to Engineer. After first strip has been placed and rolled, place succeeding strips and extend rolling to overlap previous strips. Complete base course for a section before placing surface course.

B. Joints: Make joints between old and new pavements, or between successive days’ work, to ensure continuous bond between adjoining work.

Construct joints to have same texture, density and smoothness as the sections of asphalt concrete course. Clean contact surface and apply tack coat.

3.04 ROLLING: Begin rolling when mixture will bear roller weight without excessive displacement. Compact mixture with hot hand tampers or vibrating plate compactors in areas inaccessible to rollers.

A. Breakdown Rolling: Accomplish breakdown or initial rolling immediately following rolling of joints and outside edge. Check surface after breakdown rolling, and repair displaced areas by loosening and filling, if required, with hot material.

B. Second Rolling: Follow breakdown rolling as soon as possible, while mixture is hot. Continue second rolling until mixture has been thoroughly compacted.

C. Finish Rolling: Perform finish rolling while mixture is still warm enough for removal of roller marks. Continue rolling until all roller marks are eliminated and the course has attained maximum density.

D. Patching: Remove and replace paving areas mixed with foreign materials and defective areas. Cut out such areas and fill with fresh hot asphalt concrete. Compact by rolling to maximum density and smoothness.

02511 - 3

E. Protection: After final rolling, do not permit vehicular traffic on pavement until it has cooled and hardened. Erect barricades to protect paving from traffic until mixture has cooled enough not to become marked.

3.05 PAVING TOLERANCES: In-place compacted asphalt concrete paving will not be acceptable if exceeding following allowable tolerances.

A. Thickness of base course, not more than 1/2”, plus or minus.

B. Thickness of surface course, not more than 1/4”, plus or minus.

C. Base course surface smoothness, not more than 1/4” when measured with a 10’ straightedge, applied parallel with, and at right angles to centerline of paved area.

D. Wearing course surface smoothness, not more than 3/16” when measured with a 10’ straightedge, applied parallel with, and at right angles to centerline of paved areas.
