Designation:D536015Standard Practice forDesign and Construction of Bituminous SurfaceTreatments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5360;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the design and construction ofbituminous surface treatments.It is a guide and should be usedas such.End-use specifications should be adopted to conformto job and user requirements.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specificprecautions see Section 9.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D140 Practice for Sampling Bituminous MaterialsD448 Classification for Sizes of Aggregate for Road andBridge ConstructionD490 Specification for Road TarD946 Specification for Penetration-Graded Asphalt Cementfor Use in Pavement ConstructionD977 Specification for Emulsified AsphaltD1139 Specification for Aggregate for Single or MultipleBituminous Surface TreatmentsD1369 Practice for Quantities of Materials for BituminousSurface TreatmentsD2027 Specification for Cutback Asphalt(Medium-CuringType)D2028 Specification for Cutback Asphalt(Rapid-CuringType)D2397 Specification for Cationic Emulsified AsphaltD2399 Practice for Selection of Cutback AsphaltsD2995 Practice for Estimating Application Rate and Re-sidual Application Rate of Bituminous DistributorsD3381 Specification for Viscosity-Graded Asphalt Cementfor Use in Pavement ConstructionD3628 Practice for Selection and Use of EmulsifiedAsphaltsD5624 Practice for Determining the Transverse-AggregateSpread Rate for Surface Treatment ApplicationsD6114 Specification for Asphalt-Rubber BinderD6154 Specification for Chemically Modified Asphalt Ce-ment for Use in Pavement ConstructionD6373 Specification for Performance Graded AsphaltBinder3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 multiple surface treatmentthe bituminous surfaceproduced by the repeat application of bitumen and aggregate asecond or even a third time,with the aggregate size usuallybecoming smaller with each application.Each layer is imme-diately rolled,preferably with a pneumatic-tired roller.3.1.2 single surface treatmentthe bituminous surface pro-duced by the application of bitumen to a prepared surfacefollowed at once by an aggregate cover.The surface isimmediately rolled,preferably with a pneumatic-tired roller.3.1.3 surface treatmentan application of bituminous ma-terial followed by a layer of mineral aggregate.Multipleapplications of bituminous material and mineral aggregate maybe used.3.1.3.1 DiscussionThe terms“seal coat”and“chip seal”have been used interchangeably with the term“surface treat-ment.”4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice is to be used as a guide and not aspecification.5.Ordering Information5.1 Orders for seal coat and surface treatment materialsunder this guide shall include the following information:1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Road andPaving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.24 onAsphalt Surface Treatments.Current edition approved Dec.1,2015.Published January 2016.Originallyapproved in 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D5360 09.DOI:10.1520/D5360-15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 5.1.1 Type of bitumen(asphalt binder,emulsified asphalt,cutback asphalt,road tar)specification designation,5.1.2 Grade of bitumen,5.1.3 Quantity of bitumen required,5.1.4 Type of aggregate(crushed stone,crushed gravel,crushed slag,gravel,slag)specification designation,5.1.5 Size or sizes of aggregate to be furnished,5.1.6 Quantity of aggregate required,and5.1.7 Special requirements.6.Aggregate6.1 Cover Aggregate,shall conform to Specification D1139and Classification D448.6.2 SizeAggregate should be as close to one size as iseconomically practical,preferably in the range of12to14in.(13 to 6 mm)for single surface treatments.For multiple surfacetreatments,aggregate in the range of 1 to12in.(25 to 13 mm)is used for the bottom layer with each successive layer usingaggregate approximat
