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. 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 .

4. 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]

5. Reflective crack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_crack

   Reflective crack. A reflective crack is a type of failure in asphalt pavement, one of the most popular road surface types. Asphalt pavement is impacted by traffic and thermal loading. Due to loading, cracks can appear on pavement surface that can reduce the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) dramatically. The pavement can be maintained by overlay.

6. 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 ...

7. Diamond grinding of pavement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_grinding_of_pavement

   Diamond grinding is a pavement preservation technique that corrects a variety of surface imperfections on both concrete and asphalt concrete pavements. Most often utilized on concrete pavement, diamond grinding is typically performed in conjunction with other concrete pavement preservation (CPP) techniques such as road slab stabilization, full- and partial-depth repair, dowel bar retrofit ...
