TRC2402: Field Evaluation of High-Performance Cold Mix (HPCM) Products

High-Performance Cold Mix (HPCM) products are used for pavement maintenance and pothole repair. The HPCM manufacturers have specialized proprietary ingredients that make it challenging to develop a specification encompassing all available products. Therefore, there is an emerging need to evaluate the performance of HPCM and further develop/update the specification. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the field performance of HPCM products. It is anticipated to create a field test section/strip for available HPCM products and evaluate the sites over a winter (freeze/thaw) cycle. Ideally, this would include a test section/strip with potholes created and filled with the different products. OBJECTIVES: Determine the performance of different HPCM products over an estimated 12-month period (Depending on the results, this period may vary); Determine the future test/data parameters to evaluate/approve future submitted products.
