19. Better Resistance To Creep/Flow
Much More Elastomeric
Better Fatigue Life
No Permanent Deformation under High
Loads
Reduced Damage by Slow Moving or Stopped
Overloaded Trucks
“The superior oxidation resistance of the epoxy asphalt
material was even more obvious in the Cantabro
tests…”
--Phil Harrington, Transit New Zealand—OECD report
22. Type IX – New Generation Epoxy Asphalt
12 mm Plate with 300 mm Wide Stiffeners on 600 mm Centers
Conducted at 21 deg C
10 Hz Frequency
Normal Load & Overload
NO FAILURE @ >25 Million Cycles
Potential savings in deckplate mass, dead load and
suspension steel
“If all aspects of the process are correctly handled, Epoxy Asphalt should be able to
provide a surfacing material that can be expected to meet the aim for a much
extended practically maintenance free service life, i.e., 30 years or more.”
--Int’l Transport Forum—2008 OECD report
