| dc.description.abstract | This study examines statistically the repeatability of the International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) mixture design tests by estimating the h and k consistency statistics for the test results obtained. An idea of the repeatability of the tests using materials falling within current micro-surfacing specifications is obtained. Material quantities are varied, and the test responses for the various tests are observed for any definite trends. This process throws more light on the behavior of materials used in typical micro-surfacing mixtures. The establishment of the repeatability of the tests and the observation of the impact of material variation is an initial investigation that provides a foundation for future micro-surfacing research. | en |
