Bituminous coating is a type of coating used for waterproofing
and flexible protective coat in accordance with its formulation and
polymerization grade. ... It is an excellent protective coating and
waterproofing agent, especially on surfaces such as concrete
foundations

Materials
Bituminous material is either Rapid Curing (RC) or medium
Curing (MC) Cutback asphalt, whichever specified. Prime
coat is applied only to dry or slightly moist surface. No prime
coat will be applied during foggy or rainy days. ‘-
A prime coat is a coating applied directly to a prepared
base before additional layers of support or coating are
supplied. ... Prime coat asphalt acts as an initial sealer in
the asphalt laying process to block the other layers from
moisture, dust and debris before
additional coating installations.

1. The liquid bituminous material sprayed by a pressure
distributor with no less than 1000 liters capacity mounted on
pneumatic tires of width and load produced on the road
surface not to exceed 1000 kilograms per centimeter width of
the tire.
3. The flame should not touch the casing of the tank directly
containing the bituminous liquid. The liquid should be
insulated that when the tank is filled with bituminous liquid at
180'C, the temperature will not drop to less than 20'C per
hour when the tank is not being heated.
4
4. A thermometer is fixed to the tank to measure the liquid
temperature continuously. The tank is furnished with calibrated
dipstick to indicate its content. The pipes for filling the tank shall
be furnished an easily changeable filter.
5. The distribution has the capacity to vary the spray width of the
bituminous liquid in maximum steps of 100 mm to a total width of
4 meters. The spraying bar must have nozzles from which the ‘-
liquid is sprayed in fan-shaped over the road surface equally
distributed over the total spraying width.
5
7. The distribution is famished with a Tachometer indicating its
forward speed visible from the drivers seat.

l. The surface to be treated shall be cleaned with broom including
the removal of all dirt and other objectionable materials before
applying Prime Coat.
7. The surface of the road and trees adjacent to the areas being
treated shall be protected to prevent their being spattered or
marred by asphalt
8
A tack coat is applied after the prime coat, to form an adhesive bond between the
tack coat and the next layer of coating. The tack coat prevents slippage and may
sometimes function as a more long-term sealer to protect the substrate from
moisture and bacteria. For asphalt prime coat systems, the tack coat is one of the
most vital parts of the process, as it connects the subsequent layers and forms the
base of those layers’ strength.
‘-
The standard specification for Tack Coat is the same as that of the Prime Coat.
The difference will be enumerated as follows:
The manner of application is either by the Rapid Curing Cutback or the Emulsified
Asphalt within the range of 0.2 to 0.7 liter per square meter.
Tack coat is sprayed in advance on the surface course to permit it to dry into a
'tacky" condition. The tack coat is maintained until the next course is applied.
9
Seal Coat is a mixture of emulsified asphalt, water, mineral fillers,
and various other mixtures. Seal coats are applied directly to the
surface of an asphalt pavement. It can be applied by rubber
squeegee, broom, or mechanical spray
The approximate amount of materials required for Seal Coat per square meter ‘-
is provided on Table 5-14.
Cover aggregates for Type 2 Seal Coat consists ofsand or fine screening free
from dirt or other organic matter.
The aggregate for Type-3 Seal Coat is crushed stone, crushed slag or crushed
gravel. Only one type of aggregate shall be used in a project unless other
alternative type is approved. 10
5. The aggregate shall have a mass percent of wear not GRADING REQUIREMENTS
exceeding 40 when rested by AASHTO T-96.
‘-
6. When crushed slag is used, it should be uniformed in density
and quality. A density of not less than 960 kilograms per square
meter as determined by AASHTO T-96.
11
1. Seal Coating should not be undertaken on foggy or rainy day
or when the surface to be treated is wet.
12
4. Seal Coating should not be placed on newly constructed or
reconditioned road surface in less than ten days after the surface
is laid and opened to traffic.
‘-
5. Road surface to receive bituminous material should be
cleaned of dirt, sand, dust and objectionable materials. The
cleaning should be effected by means of a rotary power broom or
power blower.
13
Bituminous material should be applied by means of pressure
distributor at the rate of approximately 0.9 to 1.8 liters for Asphalt
Cement and 1.5 to 3.0 liters for Cutback Asphalt per square
meter of surface in a uniform, unbroken spread over the section ‘-
to be treated.
14
4.If necessary to obtain proper junction of spreads, a trip of
Manila paper approximately one meter wide and at least as long
as the spray bar should be used at the beginning and end of
each spread. The paper is removed immediately after use.
‘-
15
immediately after the application of asphalt, the cover aggregate should
be spread evenly over the surface at the rate of approximately 0.004 to
0.007 cubic meters per square meter.
4. After spreading the cover aggregate, .the surface is broom lightly with
an approved push or drag broom to insure an even distribution then rolled
with an approved power roller weighing not less than 5 nor more than 6
tons to a uniform surface.
16
This item consist of either single application of bituminous
material followed by a single spreading of aggregate (single
surface treatment) or two applications of bituminous material
each followed by spreading of aggregate (double surface ‘-
treatment

The Geoplastic fabrics were introduced and experimented in
Europe in the year 1970. They were used to reinforce soil of
pavement and to provide drainage and erosion control for
highways and railroads. According to FF{WA report RD 80-021
‘-
entitled Evaluation Test Methods and Use Criteria for Geotechnical
Fabrics in Highway application", the use of geoplastic fabric is
considered as excellent. The evaluation was supported by Koemer
and Welosh in "Construction and Geotechnical Engineering Use of
Synthetic Fabric" published in New York year 1980.

As Filter. It holds the soil in place while allowing water to flow
easily away by some form drainage.
19
Euplastic fabrics are manufactured from polypropylene, polyester, nylon, polyethylene and polyvinylidene
chloride of which changes in properties depends on the processes by which the fabric is produced aside from
the differences in chemical composition. Most of these Geoplastic materials are made of polypropylene and
polyester.

Non-Woven Geoplastics are neither woven or knitted. The
