   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_cracking

   Some of the most important types of crack are as follows: [1] [4] Crocodile cracking, also known as alligator cracking and fatigue cracking; Block cracking (caused by shrinkage of asphalt) Longitudinal cracking—wheel path; Longitudinal cracking—non-wheel path; Transverse cracking; Reflection cracking at joints

3. Crocodile cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_cracking

   Crocodile cracking (also called alligator cracking and perhaps misleadingly fatigue cracking) is a common type of distress in asphalt pavement. The following is more closely related to fatigue cracking which is characterized by interconnecting or interlaced cracking in the asphalt layer resembling the hide of a crocodile . [ 1 ]

4. Embrittlement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrittlement

   Asphalt pavement embrittlement (aka crocodile cracking) can lead to various forms of cracking patterns, including longitudinal, transverse, and block (hexagonal). Asphalt oxidation is related to polymer degradation, as these materials bear similarities in their chemical composition.

   Self-healing asphalt roads could soon offer a solution to the UK's pothole crisis, according to new research. Designed with artificial intelligence (AI), a new type of asphalt made from biomass ...

6. Reflective crack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_crack

   This crack is called a "reflective crack". [1] Reflective cracking can be categorized as one of the distresses in asphalt pavement. [2] It can affect the general performance and durability of the pavement. A reflective crack can also open a way for water to enter the pavement's body and increase the deterioration rate. [3]

   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.
