David Peshkin will take the lead in developing the visual aids and the Instructor’s Guide.<br />
Development assistance will be provided by Steve Seeds and Dragos Andrei. Jim Moulthrop<br />
will serve in both an advisory and review capacity.<br />
5.3. PRE-JOB TRAINING MODULE<br />
It is anticipated that this project will result in several significant modifications to the slurry/microsurfacing<br />
construction processes as well as mix design procedures. Consequently, the purpose<br />
of this effort is to develop a pre-job training module, which will include a section on project<br />
safety, so that the “must know” information can be shared with agency and contractor<br />
personnel. This information will be extracted from the Reference Manual and a stand-alone<br />
document prepared for presentation and discussion during a meeting (similar to a preconstruction<br />
meeting) that will be held prior to the beginning of a slurry surfacing or microsurfacing<br />
project. In addition, an easy to use, pocketsize guidebook will be prepared so that<br />
both agency and contractor personnel can take it into the field.<br />
Jim Moulthrop will oversee and participate heavily in this effort. He will be assisted by Dragos<br />
Andrei and David Peshkin.<br />
5.4 TASK 3: CONSTRUCTION OF PILOT PROJECTS FOR FIELD<br />
VALIDATION OF DESIGN PROCEDURES<br />
The purpose of this work plan is to develop guidelines for the construction and evaluation of test<br />
sections for the validation of slurry seal and micro-surfacing mix design procedures. These<br />
guidelines indicate the type of equipment used and evaluation of the construction of test<br />
sections. A factorial for the determination of the site locations including test section layout has<br />
also been developed. Finally, a monitoring plan has been developed to determine<br />
constructability, and both short-term and long-term performance of the test sections.<br />
The LTPP program developed a study to determine the long-term performance of various<br />
maintenance treatments. (1) Seven States participated in the construction of these test sections.<br />
The layout of these sections along with their site selection provided valuable information for the<br />
economical evaluation of the test sections. A similar plan is proposed for the validation of the<br />
slurry and micro-surfacing mix design procedure.<br />
Fortunately, there has been widespread support for this study, which includes agencies from the<br />
States noted in Chapter 1. It is hoped that additional States may add their support before the<br />
conclusion of this study. These States provide a diverse set of climatic conditions ideally suited<br />
