Iowa’s Granular Roads
• Iowa has over 72,000 miles of granular County owned roads
• In 2019 Iowa’s County road departments spent over $129 million on granular road material and another $37.5 million blading granular roads
• Largest non labor budget item for County road departments
• Granular network vital to Iowa’s agricultural and manufacturing economy getting products to market

Background and History
• The unpaved road network in Norway was in a poor condition in the 1960´s
– In the early 1960´s, 50% or 40,000 km were gravel roads.
23
A national road during the thaw period.

Background and History (Cont’d)
• The cost of a bituminous treatment, equal to the maintenance of a gravel roads
– The investment should be earned back in a few years through reduced maintenance cost only
– The road user should find the quality and performance of the surface close to other conventional bituminous surfacings

Background and History (Cont’d)
• The surfacing should– Be cheap and easy to carry out– Utilize locally available material– Be impervious to prevent water into the moisture susceptible base
material– Be very flexible, durable and easy to maintain
• In the mid 1960’s trials were carried out in the “Otta Valley” in Norway where its name derives from
• By 1985, 12,000 km were surfaced with an Otta seal
• In the late 1970’s, the Otta seal concept was implemented in Kenya and Botswana under the NORAD technical assistance program

Otta Seals: What is It?
• An Otta seal is formed by placing graded aggregate on a relatively thick film of comparatively soft binders which, with rolling and trafficking, can work its way upwards through the aggregate interstices
• In this manner, the graded aggregate relies on both mechanical interlocking and bitumen binding for its strength - a bit like a bituminous premix
33
![Page 37: Using Otta Seal as a Surface Treatment on Low- Volume Roadsonlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/200804.pdfstreets, as a surface treatment, and base stabilize roadways and apply a](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081614/5fc55e8585f341169c58758e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Mechanism of Performance of Surfacing Types
34
Under trafficking, the seal acts as a stress-dispersing mat comprised of a bitumen/aggregate admixture – a mechanism of performance which is quite different to that of chip seal surfacing

Types of Otta Seals
• Single Otta seal
– With/without sand cover seal
• Double Otta seal
– With/without sand cover seal
36
Note that the use of a sand cover seal is recommenced to reduce the rate of oxidation of the surfacing asphalt binder under hot temperature conditions

Thickness of Otta Seal
• A single Otta seal will exhibit a thickness of about 16 mm and a double about twice that thickness

Performance Characteristics
• The texture of an Otta seal is playing a vital role in its performance
• The dense textures as formed by many particles of a relatively thick layer of aggregates where the interstices are filled with comparatively soft bitumen at with a relatively high has binder content has been found to be very durable

Performance Characteristics (Cont’d)
• Often preferred on roads with low bearing capacity due to its flexible behavior
• It seems that the close-texture grading as formed by the Otta seal concept is less susceptible to binder ageing than a chip seal

Guideline
• Publication No. 93 from NPRA from 1999– There is a need to update this
guideline for USA condition and construction practices (e.g., asphalt emulsion, recycled aggregate materials, and so on)
• Ongoing “TR-753, Evaluation of Otta Seal Surfacing for Low-volume Roads in Iowa, Phase II Study” by Iowa State University (ISU) sponsored from Iowa Highway Research Board (IHRB)– To develop a proposed technical
specification draft addressing the requirements on various items involved in real Otta Seal construction for Iowa-specific conditions

Pavement Strength
• Like all other bituminous surface treatments, an Otta seal will not contribute significantly to the structural strength of the pavement
• The pavement layers and drainage must therefore be adequately designed and constructed to withstand the expected traffic loading through its design life

Asphalt Binder Types Commonly Used for Otta Seal
• Cutback asphalt and penetration grade bitumen
– The recommended binder types by NPRA guideline No.93
– PG commonly used in European Otta seal projects
– Cutback commonly used in African projects
• Asphalt emulsion
– Commonly used in USA Otta seal projects (e.g., Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and so on.)

Cutback Asphalt and Penetration Grade Bitumen
48
Unless cut back to 150/200 v. grade using engine oil, used or new.
The best option is to use Pen. Bitumen 150/200 and cut back (MC 3000 or MC 800) to required viscosity using power paraffin.
All cutting back can easily be carried out on site providing certain safety measures are applied.

Cutback Asphalt and Penetration Grade Bitumen (Cont’d)
• Binder spray rates
– It should be noted that aggregate with high water absorption (fines (dust) on lime stone, ferricrete and laterite) will require a higher spray rate and lower viscosity than given NPRA guideline No 93
– The rolling procedure adopted during construction will also influence the spray rates and binder viscosity required
49
Traffic level at time of construction (AADT)
Hot spray rates(liter/m2)
< 100 1.8 – 2.2
100 - 500 1.8 – 2.0
> 500 1.6 – 1.8

Asphalt Emulsion
• HFMS-2s – Used for the Cherokee County Otta seal project in 2017 and
most of Otta seal projects in Iowa since then
– Minnesota and South Dakota applied this binder type for Otta seal projects
– Binder spray rates
• It is recommended to increase the spray rate due to the high water content in emulsions
• Iowa and Minnesota experience is 2.3±0.02 liter/m2 , and most of previous projects in Iowa and Minnesota have shown satisfactory performance
• South Dakota tried various binder spray rates on first and second layer Otta seal and performance also varied

Construction Sequences
52
Normally not required
Binder type depends on aggregate grading and traffic. Normally MC 3000 or MC 800 viscosity ranges. In hot climate, also 150/200 pen. bitumen grade
A wide range of aggregates can be used, fines included. Both mechanical chip-spreaders and labor based methods can be used in the spreading of aggregate
Excessive rolling with pneumatic tire rollers is essential to achieve a good result. Sufficient rolling in the construction of Otta seals can not be over emphasized!
![Page 56: Using Otta Seal as a Surface Treatment on Low- Volume Roadsonlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/200804.pdfstreets, as a surface treatment, and base stabilize roadways and apply a](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081614/5fc55e8585f341169c58758e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Compaction and Rolling Mechanism
• Extensive rolling and compaction with 12-ton pneumatic rollers is important to bond the aggregate with the binder
• Fully loaded heavy trucks can be used for rolling and compaction only if mechanical compactors are not available
• The whole operation crew should be in a “train” during the construction
53
![Page 57: Using Otta Seal as a Surface Treatment on Low- Volume Roadsonlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/webinars/200804.pdfstreets, as a surface treatment, and base stabilize roadways and apply a](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081614/5fc55e8585f341169c58758e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Sweeping
• It is important to sweep the surface one month after construction, if Otta seal is applied in only one layer
• However, for double Otta seal, it is required to sweep the surface prior to application of 2nd layer
• It is required that - during the first few months after Otta seal construction - the aggregate dislodge by traffic be broomed to the side of road
• The aggregates should be spread on wheel paths on road surface to prevent any bleeding potential in Otta seal future performance

Summary
• Otta seal method has developed from being an economical “maintenance seal” to a fully fledged bituminous surfacing with few or no other limitations regarding traffic than one would apply to other sprayed bituminous surfacing types
• The Otta seal method is an example of the innovative use of local, often marginal quality materials, in combination with appropriate bituminous binders to produce a durable surfacing

Summary (Cont’d)
• Key factors to achieve successful Otta seal projects – Gradation is the most critical property for aggregate selection
but the allowed aggregate gradation limits are in a wide range
– The recommended binder spay rate in NPRA guideline No. 93 for cutback asphalts needs to be modified on the basis of asphalt content in asphalt emulsion (i.e., increasing the spray rate due to the high water content in emulsions
– Aggregate spreading is another critical aspect that influences the Otta seal construction and the resulting performance
– Extensive rolling and compaction with 12-ton pneumatic rollers is important to bond the aggregate with the binder
– It is recommended to train the construction crew and introduce them to Otta seal construction procedures

Our Problem
• Winneshiek County has “villages” that had old and dilapidated seal coat streets that were being ignored and were impossible to maintain to any level
• Board was looking for low cost “surfacing” for some roadways that have higher traffic counts
• A few HMA/good condition seal coat roads that needed to be resealed
• Solution – Experiment with Otta seal for village streets, as a surface treatment, and base stabilize roadways and apply a double Otta seal

Looking Forward
• We looked into all roads we would want to Otta seal and had enough material crushed to do that. Roughly half the pile remains
• Due to funding issues (decline in valuation, decline in local option sales tax, decline in road use tax) the second phase of the Otta seal is on hold
69

Winneshiek Conclusion
• Otta seals work!!
• We stuck to the literature put out by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration on gradation, which was over $15/ton to crush. Spendy
• We did use an emulsion vs. a cut back and had no problems
• Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll! Once you are done with that, start rolling it
• Like everything, base is key
• We didn’t beef up our village streets but the prior seal coats lasted for years

Positive Aspects of using Otta Seal
• Flexibility with respect to the use of locally available natural aggregates for producing the graded aggregate. Thus, crushed or uncrushed aggregate or a combination of both can be used in the construction of Otta seal
• Construction can be performed with county equipment and labor• Existing contractors can construct Otta seal projects without
needing to use any special equipment• Lowered maintenance costs due to reduced need of blading and
adding of aggregate to Otta seal roads• Enhanced durability of pavements and aggregate treated with Otta
seal• Greatly reduced loss of aggregate (dust) of Otta seal constructed on
existing aggregate surfaces• Favorably public acceptance of Otta seal due to reduction of dust
on existing aggregate roads
