2. Crocodile cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_cracking

   Fatigue cracking manifests itself initially as longitudinal cracking (cracks along the direction of the flow of traffic) in the top layer of the asphalt. [5] These cracks are initially thin and sparsely distributed. If further deterioration is allowed, these longitudinal cracks are connected by transverse cracks to form sharp sided, prismatic ...

3. Dowel bar retrofit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowel_bar_retrofit

   A dowel bar retrofit (DBR) is a method of reinforcing cracks in highway pavement by inserting steel dowel bars in slots cut across the cracks. It is a technique which several U.S. states' departments of transportation have successfully used in repairs to address faulting in older jointed plain concrete pavements.

4. Concrete pavement restoration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_Pavement_Restoration

   Dowel bar retrofit (DBR) is a process that re-establishes load transfer capability on joints and cracks by installing epoxy-coated, round steel dowels into existing concrete pavement across transverse joints and/or cracks. Slots are cut using diamond-tipped saw blades; the existing concrete is removed and the dowels are placed in the slots ...

5. Asphalt concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt_concrete

   Asphalt batch mix plant A machine laying asphalt concrete, fed from a dump truck. Asphalt concrete (commonly called asphalt, [1] blacktop, or pavement in North America, and tarmac or bitumen macadam in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) is a composite material commonly used to surface roads, parking lots, airports, and the core of embankment dams. [2]

6. Pavement cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_cracking

   Different types of pavements develop different cracks. Type of cracking is also correlated with the type of climate and traffic. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Sometimes the cracks are aggregated using an index such as Crack index , and sometimes they are merged with other distresses and are reported using Pavement Condition Index .

7. Chipseal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipseal

   The introduction of polymer-modified bitumen and emulsion binder has increased chipseal's ability to prevent crack reflection and improve stone retention by improving the properties of the bitumen binder. Newer techniques use asphalt emulsion (a mixture of liquid asphalt, surfactant, and water) instead of asphalt. This has been shown to help ...
