Abstract

Three experimental test sections were constructed with sulphur-extended-asphalt (SEA) binders as segments of the trafficked network in Eastern Saudi Arabia. Cement addition was necessary to increase the 24-hours Marshall stability, as the limestone aggregate was prone to water damage. All three test roads were constructed using conventional procedures for mix production, laying, and compaction. The paper briefly describes the three SEA projects and provides in service data on a road which has heavy traffic and has exhibited earlier cracking in one section with reduced SEA pavement thickness. The paper offers some general comments on the application of this novel technology. Refs.
