Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for applying a crack resistant coating on a surface, where the crack resistant coating increases resistance to high vertical and horizontal movements and high shear stresses on the surface. The method comprises the steps of applying a binding material to the surface and applying an aggregate mixture within 15 seconds of applying the binding material to the surface, where the aggregate mixture comprises aggregate particles and an asphalt solution and where the aggregate mixture has a plurality of air voids, and where the binding material fills at least 15% of the air voids in the aggregate mixture (AVFA).

The method comprises the steps of applying a binding material to the surface, applying an aggregate mixture within 15 seconds of applying the binding material to the surface, and allowing the binding material to fill some of the air voids in the aggregate mixture to form a substantially voidless layer with a height of at least 0.38 cm.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a rut resistant coating and a method for applying the rut resistant coating on an existing surface for increasing resistance to high vertical and horizontal strains and high shear stresses. The method includes applying a binding material layer of the rut resistant coating on the existing surface to provide a substantially impermeable moisture barrier to the existing surface, the binding material layer containing less than about 11% of the total binding material of the rut resistant coating. After applying the binding material layer, an aggregate mixture layer is applied on the binding material layer to provide the wear surface of the rut resistant coating and support and structure to the rut resistant coating to resist rutting, the aggregate mixture layer containing an asphalt solution.
