Heard you guys were talking asphalt......
You cant just throw money at road problems, you need the knowledge to actually fix them in the best way possible. Not every state is willing to accept standard written by someone else even though they work great in other states, and they cling to outdated federal standards. I could go into more deets but, its not just putting hot mix through a paver and running a roller over it a couple times. |

So I used to run guns but I’ve been a cop for a while now. Anyways this dude who obviously likes to chase the dragon came in to report that his “friend” walked out of his house with his SP2022 a week and a half ago and he just now WaNts tO rEpOrT iT sToLeN. I look up said friend and sure as shit he has a history of narcotics sales ??. So I bust out a sworn affidavit and give the dude some excessive eye contact during the part where I explain what perjury is and how you can go to prison for it. He gets super nervous and recants and says he gave the friend the gun as a loan but continues to deny he traded it for drugs. I take his old receipt to get the serial number and see what asshole sold this clown a gun. And it was me in 2012 ???????

Quote HistoryYup, freeze thaw is a huge factor. Is there any maintenance done to the cracks in the road during the summer? If so, do they blow out the dirt and grime before sealing? Sealing in dirt without blowing them out puts more pressure in the road when it tries to expand in the summer and more blowups will occur. Thats just bullshit maintenance. As far as asphalt road construction.....dude, theres a post character limit. Not all asphalt binder (some states call it asphalt cement) is created equal. This would be the "tar". Its rated for temperature and the biggest temps it can withstand without failure costs more. A good binder in our climate range needs to be able to stand firm in 150* without wheeltrack rutting, but not crack in super cold temps down to -25. Its expensive binder. But binder is only 5% of asphalt pavement by weight...what kind of aggregates are your contractors using? Limestone? What percent is crushed with jagged faces so they dont slide past each other vs using cheap concrete sand? What % of air trapped in the pavement is there, and is it consistent? That is absolutely one of the most important things. Too much air and it falls apart, too little air and it becomes brittle and falls apart. Juuuuuust the right amount lets it remain flexible. How about surface pre? Subabse stabilization? Base drainage? Is the asphalt built in the correct amount of lifts? Is there the right amount tack oil applied? Was it laid too cold? Was the laydown equipment sprayed down with diesel beforehand? Literally too much to even list, thats tip of the iceberg. In the early 2000s Iowa DOT got our experts together and wrote our own rules of asphalt pavement based on decades of data, then published that data for any other state to use instead of the federal standards and it so far has been adopted by 14 other states. Most, with their own tweaks to fit varying climates. Click To View Spoiler |

I’m impressed. You need to come give our county a talk. All the information I know is available to any .gov in the country for free. Most stick to the federal (AASHTO) highway standards that were written a long time ago. Not only is the information very outdated and no longer the best, the book is copywritten and costs $1000 per copy. Classes are very expensive that teach people about highways because the book is so damn expensive, and the fed check for copywrite violations. We will give ours out. The taxpayers deserve the best roads and the lowest costs. |

I grew up with close contact with a paving family they knew how to put down roads that would last nobody would pay for them
That was also 1992. Asphalt pavement technology has gotten exponentially better in the last couple decades. Old roads used to last 25-30 years. We're trying to double that. If the surface starts to get bad, there are absolutely wonderful high performance thin lift overlays that can be applied to extend surface life out another decade at minimal expense. |
