3.6.6 Long Term Performance Tests<br />

Air Gap 0.75 – 1.25 inches (20 -30 mm)<br />

Water / Ice 0.75 – 1.25 inches (20 -30 mm)<br />

The long-term properties of S3 mixes are dependent on their mechanical properties and their<br />

ability to maintain these properties over time and under service conditions. This makes them no<br />

different from any other thin aggregate/binder mixtures such as thin and ultra-thin hot mix<br />

overlays. For high traffic or rut filling applications, when the material is placed in thicker layers<br />

up to 4 inches (100 mm), performance becomes important and must be evaluated in the design<br />

process. Table 3.6 provides a list of candidate tests that were identified in the original proposal.<br />
