Abstract (Limit: 250 words) <br />Eighteen chip -sealed roadways in eight cities and counties in Minnesota were evaluated both in the field (for <br />condition surveys and density tests) and in the laboratory (for permeability, stripping, tensile -strength ratio, <br />asphalt film thickness, and mix properties) to evaluate factors associated with stripping in asphalt pavements <br />under chip -seal treatments. Analysis of the test data did not support an earlier MnDOT finding that high air voids <br />were a cause of stripping under chip seals. For those locations that did exhibit stripping, the test data did not <br />support a direct relationship between asphalt pavement density and stripping. In addition, the research did not <br />determine a direct relationship between incidence of stripping and site/supplier data (e.g., bituminous mixture, <br />contractor, geographic location, or year of construction). This observation agreed with observations made by <br />Minnesota city/county engineers. An additional outcome of the research is the large amount of testing data <br />developed, which is documented fully in appendices to the final report. <br />17.
