413.10.3 1 All Types and Grades. The minimum dry mass per unit area will be based on a bulk specific gravity

(BSG) of 2.65. The BSG of the final aggregate blend shall be determined and shown as part of the JMF criteria. If the BSG is different from 2.65 by more than 0.05, the above minimum masses shall be adjusted by dividing the specified unit mass by 2.65 and multiplying by the new BSG. (For example, for a new BSG = 3.15, the new minimum application rate for a Type II micro-surface would be 3.15(20.0/2.65) = 23.8 pounds per square yard). These adjusted values shall be designated on the JMF and will apply in the field.

413.10.3 2 Type II or Type III. If a specified thickness is required, the amount of mineral aggregate per square

yard shall be increased as necessary to obtain the thickness.

413.10.3 3 Two-Pass Type II and/or Type III. When specified, two passes of micro-surfacing (Type II/Type II,

Type III/Type III, or Type II/Type III) shall be applied, the first of which shall be to fill depressions and level the surface (bottom course) and the second pass as the final wearing surface (top course).

413.10.3 4 Type IIIR. For Type IIIR mixes, there will be no minimum or maximum unit quantities. The

contractor shall make the determination as to the amount necessary, except all depressed areas shall be filled level as specified. Type IIIR may be applied in more than one pass at the contractor’s expense. Type IIIR shall not be added to Type II or Type III applications in the field, but shall be a separate application.

machine. The mixing machine shall be able to accurately deliver and proportion the aggregate, mineral filler, water, additive and emulsion to a revolving multi-blade dual mixer and to discharge the thoroughly mixed product. The machine shall have sufficient storage capacity for all components to maintain an adequate supply to the proportioning controls.

413.10.4 1.1 Individual volume or weight controls for proportioning each item to be added to the mix shall be

provided. Each material control device shall be calibrated and properly marked. The calibration shall be approved by the engineer prior to proportion. Each device shall be accessible for ready calibration and placed such that the engineer may determine the amount of each material used at the time.

413.10.4 1.2 The mixing machine shall be equipped with a water pressure system and nozzle-type spray bar to

provide a water spray to dampen the surface when required immediately ahead of and outside the spreader box as required. No free flowing water shall be present.

413.10.4 2 Spreading Equipment. The micro-surfacing mixture shall be spread uniformly by means of a

mechanical-type spreader box attached to the mixer. The spreader box shall be equipped with paddles or augers to agitate and spread the material uniformly throughout the box. The paddles or augers shall be designed and operated so all the fresh mix will be agitated to prevent the mixture from setting up in the box, causing side buildup and lumps.

413.10.4 2.1 The spreader box used for surface course construction shall be equipped with flexible seals in

contact with the road to prevent loss of mixture from the box. The box shall be equipped with devices to adjust the thickness or grade of the surface and shall have a squeegee strike-off rear plate.

have the same adjustments as the spreader box.

413.10.4 2.3 The spreader box used for rut-filling shall have two metal strike-offs, angled from each side toward

the center at approximately 45 degrees. Interrupted flight augers shall be used ahead of the first strike-off plate to spread the mix and maintain laminar flow. The second strike-off plate shall be adjusted to produce the desired grade and depth. The first strike-off and augers shall be adjustable up and down in order to maintain a fairly uniform flow or roll of material in front of the second strike-off. A rubber squeegee shall be attached to the adjustable metal plate at the rear of the spreader box, behind the second strike-off, to texture the surface. The adjustable metal plate shall have sufficient clearance not to affect the grade established by the second strike-off.
