Abstract
Today, the safety, durability and strength of the materials used in covering the transportation network and communication routes, is one of the most important and effective factors in reducing road maintenance costs and providing safety, preventing waste of time and providing psychological comfort to those using the routes. Finding methods to prevent premature destruction of asphalt in the road network and delaying pavement repairs and increasing the service life of asphalt pavement by improving the technical specifications of the materials used, requires study and research on various methods of repair and maintenance which are corrective and preventive. In the preventive method, surface treatment asphalt has a special place due to bringing the desired surface characteristics, reducing costs, high effectiveness and preventing the destruction of asphalt in a long period of time in order to reduce maintenance costs. Another function of surface treatment asphalt is to create a non-sliding surface. Surface treatment asphalt has different types called fly seal, cape seal, chip seal, slurry seal, seal coat and micro-surfing, each of which has its own characteristics, but of course we will bear difference in cost by choosing each type. We have to pay attention to this point, along with the weather conditions and the amount of traffic in the desired location when choosing the type of surface treatment asphalt.
