... 10 After the bottom lift was placed and cooled down, the research team placed the delamination conditions at a depth of 2 in. Because of the problems with the paper as previously discussed, the paper was not used as a bond breaker at the 2-in.

... 12 Lessons Learned The following lessons were drawn from the experience with the construction of the test slabs for controlled laboratory evaluations at the NCAT Pavement Test Track: • Kraft paper was not strong enough to resist tensile forces generated by HMA paving screed as the screed passed over the paper. The top layer of paper tore and slid with the screed.
