Article Synopsis
- Ultra-thin overlays (UTOL) are used on highways to enhance the performance and repair minor damage to asphalt pavements, but their thinness makes them prone to wear and shorter lifespan.
- This study explores the creation of a more durable and skid-resistant asphalt ultra-thin overlay by combining epoxy asphalt (EA) with steel slag, analyzing EA's physical and rheological properties.
- Results suggest that using 40% epoxy resin optimizes the overlay's performance, improving its resistance to temperatures, skid stability, and overall durability when mixed and maintained at specified temperatures.
