TL;DR: The performance of multilayered pavement systems depends strongly on interlayer bonding as discussed by the authors, where tack coats are usually applied at various interfaces during pavement construction or overlay, and the effectiveness of the tack coat can be assessed with the use of several devices arranged by different laboratories to evaluate interlayer shear resistance.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of water immersion on adhesive and cohesive properties of asphalt-aggregate systems was investigated using a modified version of the PATTI test, which is able to evaluate with good precision the pull-off strength and its repeatability depends on the failure type (adhesive or cohesive).

TL;DR: In this paper, an updated version of the RILEM methodology for testing of bituminous pavement materials is presented with a short discussion of basic elements, which is intended as general checklist and practical tool for initiating and conducting future interlaboratory tests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the experimental results obtained in the laboratory by using the ASTRA interface shear test for the performance-related characterisation of tack coat emulsions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential use of a cold-recycled (CR) asphalt mixture as base course of an Italian motorway was evaluated, and a special mixing procedure, involving the use of water vapour and bituminous emulsion, was tested.
