widths from 4 inches to 24 inches. Finished lines shall have well defined edges and be free of waviness. Measurements will be taken as an average through any 36 -inch section of line. Of fset longitudinal lines approximately 2 inches from longitudinal joints. A tolerance of + 1/2 inch and -1/8 inch from the specified width will be allowed, provided the variation is gradual. Lines should be squared off at each end without excessive mist or drip. Transverse variations from the control device up to 1 inch will be allowed provided the variation does not increase or decrease at the rate of more than 1/2 inch in 25 feet. Remove lines not meeting these tolerances and replace at no cost to the Department.

732.03.6 1 Thermoplastic Markings: For extruded or ribbon

gun applied markings, the thickness of material, not including drop-on beads, shall not be less than 90 mils for lane lines, edge lines, black contrast, gore markings, and no less than 125 mils for crosswalks, stop plastic markings (tape). Remove markings by methods that will not damage the pavement or bridge deck. After removing the markings, pick up and dispose of the debris and residue within 24 hours. Removal shall be to such extent that 75 percent of the pavement surface or bridge deck under the markings is exposed. At the end of each day’ s operations , the engineer may direct that temporary pavement markings complying with Section 713 be used in areas where existing markings have been removed and new markings not placed. Satisfactorily remove temporary pavement markings prior to resuming thermoplastic marking operations. Remove all markings made in error or not conforming to the traffic operation in use to the satisfaction of the engineer. Do not obliterate markings by painting with asphalt binder or other material.

732.03.5 Application of Surface Primer : When applying 90 mil

thermoplastic, use a two component primer sealer prior to placement of thermoplastic materials on portland cement concrete surfaces and oxidized asphalt unless otherwise directed by the engineer. When applying 40 mil thermoplastic, use a single component surface primer on portland cement concrete surfaces unless otherwise directed by the engineer. When applying preformed thermoplastic, use primer as recommended by the manufacturer. Do not allow traffic over primed areas before applying therm oplastic.

732.03.6 Application of Markings : Install material in specified

widths from 4 inches to 24 inches. Finished lines shall have well defined edges and be free of waviness. Measurements will be taken as an average through any 36 -inch section of line. Of fset longitudinal lines approximately 2 inches from longitudinal joints. A tolerance of + 1/2 inch and -1/8 inch from the specified width will be allowed, provided the variation is gradual. Lines should be squared off at each end without excessive mist or drip. Transverse variations from the control device up to 1 inch will be allowed provided the variation does not increase or decrease at the rate of more than 1/2 inch in 25 feet. Remove lines not meeting these tolerances and replace at no cost to the Department.

732.03.6 1 Thermoplastic Markings: For extruded or ribbon

gun applied markings, the thickness of material, not including drop-on beads, shall not be less than 90 mils for lane lines, edge lines, black contrast, gore markings, and no less than 125 mils for crosswalks, stop plastic markings (tape). Remove markings by methods that will not damage the pavement or bridge deck. After removing the markings, pick up and dispose of the debris and residue within 24 hours. Removal shall be to such extent that 75 percent of the pavement surface or bridge deck under the markings is exposed. At the end of each day’ s operations , the engineer may direct that temporary pavement markings complying with Section 713 be used in areas where existing markings have been removed and new markings not placed.

732.03.6 1 Thermoplastic Markings: For extruded or ribbon

gun applied markings, the thickness of material, not including drop-on beads, shall not be less than 90 mils for lane lines, edge lines, black contrast, gore markings, and no less than 125 mils for crosswalks, stop lines, words, and symbol markings. For spray applications the thickness of material, not including drop-on beads, shall not be less than 40 mils. Apply glass beads to the molten surface of completed stripes by either a single drop or a double drop application depending on the thickness of the thermoplastic striping. Glass beads shall be uniformly distributed to ensure that the full width of the line is visible at night. For a 40 mil single drop application, the contractor has discretion on which beads to use in order to meet the retroreflectivity requiremen ts. For the first drop of a 90 mil double drop application, use Type 4 beads at a minimum rate of 211 pounds per mile based on a 4 -inch solid line. The type of bead for the second drop is at the contractor’s discretion; however, a smaller bead is typical . Black thermoplastic pavement markings require skid-resistant filler in lieu of glass beads.

732.03.6 2 Preformed Plastic Markings: Apply preformed

plastic markings in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation.

732.03.7 Field Testing of Roadway Markings : The contractor

and the Department will field test the pavement markings in accordance with 1015.10 , 1015.11 , and Table 732-1. Failure to meet these requirements will require the contractor to replace the portion of the material shown to be out of s pecification as directed by the engineer. Take initial readings within 30 days of application. Initial readings taken after 30 days must meet the same requirements as initial readings. Any late readings submitted after the 30 days will be considered initial readings. Take the initial retroreflectivity readings with a DOTD inspector present. Upon completion of testing, the DOTD inspector will immediately take possession of a copy of the retroreflectivity readings in either a hard copy (81/2 inches x 11 inches) or electronic format on a USB drive, as noted below. Additionally, provide documentation to the Department that the instrument has been calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements, including the required annual factory calibration. The Department reserves the right to inspect the striping and take additional readings six months to one year after the date of installation for the one year warranty. For each material type, take a different set of readings in accordance with Table 732-1. Provide the data to the Department electronically in Microsoft Excel® (xls) format downloaded from the reflectometer data. Each spreadsheet shall have a header that states all of the following:

1.Project number; lines, words, and symbol markings. For spray applications the thickness of material, not including drop-on beads, shall not be less than 40 mils.

734.01 DESCRIPTION. Rubblize existing reinforced or non-reinforced

portland cement concrete pavement using a pavement -fracturing machine capable of delivering sufficient energy to rubblize the pavement full-depth in a manner that fractures the concrete slab into smaller pieces that eliminates slab action without damaging the subgrade. Thoroughly compact and seat the rubblized pavement with appropriate equipment as outlined in this specification. Either the resonant frequency breaker (Method 1) or the multihead breaker (Method 2) process may be utilized to rubblize and seat the pavement. Use only one of the methods (Method 1 or Method 2) on the project. When using Method 2 on concrete pavements with thickness greater than 11 inches, the contractor may use a guillotine -breaking device with the engineer’s approval, if pre -fracturing of the pavement is necessary to achieve rubblization size requirements with out damage to the subgrade. Perform t he work in accordance with the lines, grades, and typical sections shown on the plans and as outlined in this specification.

734.02 Equipment.

734.02.1 Method 1 (Resonant Frequency Breaker Process):

734.02.1 1 Resonant Frequency Breaker Machine : Use a

self-contained, self -propelled, resonant frequency breaker for rubblizing existing pavement that is capable of producing 2000 pound force blows at a rate of not less than 44 cycles per second with an amplitude of less than 1 inch.

734.02.1 2 Resonant Freque ncy Breaker Seating

Equipment:

734.02.1 2.1 Steel -Wheel Vibratory Roller: Use a steel-

wheel vibratory roller having a gross weight of not less than 10 tons, operated in the vibrating mode, to compact the rubblized pavement.

734.02.1 2.2 Pneumatic -Tired Roller: Use a pneumatic -

tired roller as specified in 503.16.3 to compact the rubblized pavement.

734.02.2 Method 2 (Multihead Breaker Process):

734.02.2 1 Multihead Breaker Machine: Use a multihead
