Practice question

A tack coat is sprayed on a surface that still has visible dust and loose debris. What is the most likely result if paving continues without correction?

  1. Better bond because dust fills surface voids
  2. Poor bond between layers that can contribute to slippage or delamination
  3. Higher in-place density because the surface is lubricated
  4. No effect because tack works through dirt

Answer: B — Poor bond between layers that can contribute to slippage or delamination
