FORTA-FI® - Dense Graded HMA
WYDOT had planned a 5” mill and fill along five miles of I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne. In the Eastbound travel lane an existing longitudinal crack ran the length of the project. FORTA-FI® was added to the lower 2.5” lift of asphalt base course to slow the propagation of this crack to the surface.
FORTA-FI® - Dense Graded HMA
After milling the pavement edges, a 2” FRAC overlay was placed on badly deteriorated 5th Street in downtown Casper. To address the need to control reflective cracking, FORTA-FI® reinforcement was chosen by the city in place of their standard 6 oz paving fabric for ease of installation and to avoid future problems with recycling.
FORTA-FI® - Dense Graded HMA
Thurston County specied a 3” WMA section in two 1.5” lifts, both reinforced with FORTA-FI®. In the past, the use of conventional asphalt typically resulted in significant top-down fatigue cracking due to the intense car and truck traffic.
FORTA-FI® - Dense Graded HMA
Thurston County specified a single lift 3” HMA section reinforced with FORTA-FI®. In the past, conventional asphalt typically resulted in the development of fatigue cracking due to high traffic volumes along this stretch of road.
FORTA-FI® - Dense Graded HMA
The original design called for inclusion of a paving fabric to help delay reflective cracking. In the end though, an alternate FORTA-FI® design was used as it offers reinforcement throughout the full depth of the asphalt and better facilitates recycling of the road in the future.
FORTA-FI® - Dense Graded HMA
Rehabilitation of the existing badly cracked road involved placement of a 1.5” thick FORTA-FI® reinforced HMA overlay. The City of Bremerton understood that conventional asphalt would last only 3 to 4 years before the existing cracks reflective through and a tight budget prevented them from carrying out more extensive treatment work.
