Guide for Transversely Varying Asphalt Rates (0-5833-P1)

This CD-ROM contains a PDF of the guide, which has been prepared for district seal coat program managers and chief inspectors with limited or no experience with transverse variation of asphalt rate (TVAR). The objective of the guide is to facilitate statewide use of this beneficial technique. TVAR can improve the performance of seal coats, particularly those placed on pavements with flushed wheel paths. Existing wheel path flushing can be reduced and sometimes eliminated, thereby significantly improving skid properties of the roadway while still providing adequate asphalt outside of the wheel paths to hold the new aggregate.
