Transportation CenterUS Transportation CollectionThe objectives of this project are: (i) To develop a 1-day training class and a seal coat design and construction manual for KDOT, and (ii) To evaluate the use of light-weight aggregates in chip seal in Kansas. It is expected that the seal coat manual will include information on the proper use of light-weight aggregates. In year one of the Kansas Pavement Preservation Initiative, two training classes (one 1-day and one 2-day) on thin surface treatments have been offered. A research project to quantify benefits and effectiveness of pavement preservation in Kansas based on historical data is also underway. The proposed projects (in Year 2) are the continuation of the effort for a planned and coordinated education, research, innovation, and implementation plan for pavement preservation in Kansas
