NEW MEXICO'S SEMIANNUAL CONDITION SURVEYS EFFECT CHANGES IN GEOMETRIC AND STRUCTURAL DESIGNS
CONDITION SURVEYS, CHANGES IN USAGE AND THE RESULTS OF DESIGN VARIATIONS ARE INVESTIGATED FOR NEW MEXICO HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION. ROUGHOMETER READINGS, CRACKING PATTERNS, AND BENKELMAN BEAM DEFLECTIONS ARE RECORDED AND MEASURED FOR FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS. IT WAS FOUND THAT BY CONTROL OF MATERIAL AND PLACEMENT, CRACKING CAN BE CONTROLLED. GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF SLOPES AND THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF PAVEMENTS ARE DISCUSSED WITH THEIR RELATION TO PAVEMENT CRACKING-
