The BST performance characteristics covered by this protocol include aggregate retention, bleeding, skid resistance, aggregate embedment depth, cracking, and rutting. In this study, the new MMLS3 BST performance test method was applied to evaluate effects of various mix parameters on aggregate retention and bleeding; these parameters include aggregate and emulsion application rates, fines content, and aggregate gradation. Results demonstrate that the BST performance test method developed in this study is an excellent means of supporting current BST design and evaluating effects of various factors on performance of BSTs.}, number={1958}, booktitle={Managing and maintaining highway structures and pavements}, publisher={Washington: Transportation Research Board Natl Research Council}, author={Lee, J. and Kim, Y.

Many hazards exist, including trench walls that can collapse, heavy objects that can be accidentally dropped into the opening, and buried utilities (e.g., power lines) that are damaged during the operation. Workplace safety has become a major concern in the construction industry over the past few decades. The main accident prevention efforts used for trench excavation and pipe installation today are the use of the trench box, appropriate sloping of trench walls, and the training of site personnel. The Construction Automation and Robotics Laboratory at North Carolina State University has developed an alternative that is using advanced technology, the prototype robotic excavation and pipe installation system. The major mechanical components are a backhoe excavator and a pipe manipulator attachment.
