This report describes the performance of fabrics used under overlays in an effort to minimize longitudinal and alligator cracking in flexible pavements. It is concluded, although the sample size is small, that the treatments will extend the pavement life an average of about two years.
Three materials that offered the potential of minimizing reflection cracks were installed. Two of the materials were high tensile strength fabrics and the third was an emulsified rubber compound. The applications were made over a badly cracked bituminous pavement just north of Charlottesville.
This book forms the Proceedings of the Second International RILEM Conference held in Liege in March 1993. It follows the successful first conference held in 1989 and focusses on two main topics: the current state of the art of reflective cracking in highway and other pavements, and design recommendations for field applications. As well as more than
"This synthesis will be of special interest to pavement designers, materials specialists, maintenance engineers, and others concerned with the performance of pavement overlays. Methods are presented for reducing reflection cracking in overlays."--Avant-propos.
Crack reflection through a road structure is one of the main causes of premature pavement deterioration. This is a widespread problem in many countries and highway maintenance authorities are having to find economic means of repairing and upgrading their pavements. This book is the eagerly awaited state-of-the-art report which considers all different aspects of the subject including assessment and use of overlay systems.
Papers from a December 1997 symposium detail innovative and effective strategies for rehabilitation and maintenance of existing highways. Primary topics addressed include pavement evaluation for rehabilitation and management, cold in-place recycling techniques for pavement rehabilitation, effectiven
