Abstract:

An implementation project was performed to expand use of transversely varied asphalt rate (TVAR) seal coat practices in all districts. The project included nine regional workshops, continued field texture testing of test sites, provided one set of sand patch test equipment to each TxDOT district, and published 500 copies of the TVAR Field Guide for broad TxDOT distribution.
