Abstract
The practice of sprinkle treating asphalt surfaces with high-quality aggregate to provide improved frictional characteristics has been used in Europe since the 1960s. Use of sprinkle treatments on asphalt mixtures produced with locally available aggregates has economic potential while conserving high-quality aggregate resources . Iowa's first sprinkle treatment effort was in 1975 with a truck-mounted dual spinner, tailgate spreader. English-built Bristowes chipping spreaders have been used for uniform distribution of all Iowa sprinkle treatments since 1977. The objective of this paper is to relate Iowa's experiences in improving frictional characteristics using sprinkle treatments.
