The design and construction of airfield pavements have not been developed sufficiently to provide pavements that will not crack. Cracking is a response to traffic and environmental conditions or to the construction material. For many years, rubber in several different forms has been added to asphalt with limited success in reducing pavement cracking. This report reviews the efforts to control cracking by incorporating rubber and asphalt for application as membrane interlayers, surface seal coats, crack fillers, and joint sealers. The extensive literature review indicates that conflicting conclusions have been reached regarding varied applications of the asphalt-rubber material. Of the asphalt-rubber products available, those with high percentages of rubber (20 to 30 percent by weight) appear to be the most promising for airfield pavements, although the effectiveness of asphalt-rubber in controlling or reducing pavement cracking has not been conclusively demonstrated. No superiority of one asphalt-rubber product was indicated in the literature. Because of the danger of loose aggregate chips, the literature indicates that chip seal applications should not be used on facilities where loose chips could be a problem. Therefore, the membrane interlayer is the only application of asphalt-rubber that should be considered for military runways at this time.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 342: Chip Seal Best Practices examines ways to assist in the development and implementation of pavement preservation programs by identifying the benefits of using chip seal as part of a preventive maintenance program and by highlighting advanced chip seal programs in use around the world. The report includes approximately 40 best practices in the areas of chip seal design methods, contract administration, equipment practices, construction practices, and performance measures. According to the report, the increased use of chip seals for maintenance can be a successful, cost-effective way of using preventive maintenance to preserve both low-volume and higher-volume pavements.
