<strong>Asphalt</strong> <strong>Rubber</strong> Interlayers are a Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer (SAMI), which is a<br />

membrane seal that is used to retard the rate <strong>of</strong> reflection cracking from an underlying layer into<br />

new overlays. It consists <strong>of</strong> an application <strong>of</strong> an <strong>Asphalt</strong> <strong>Rubber</strong> Chip Seal. An HMA overlay is<br />

then placed over the SAMI. If necessary, traffic may be allowed to operate on the SAMI prior to<br />

construction <strong>of</strong> the overlay.<br />
