RESISTANCE TO CRACKING OF RUBBERIZED ASPHALT: FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENT ON TRUNK ROAD A6 IN LEICESTERSHIRE
THE RESULTS OF A FULL-SCALE EXPERIMENT ON TRUNK ROAD A6 AT LOCKINGTON IN LEICESTERSHIRE HAVE SHOWN AFTER 5 YEARS THAT RUBBERIZED ROLLED ASPHALT LAID OVER CONCRETE JOINTS WAS CONSIDERABLY MORE RESISTANT TO REFLECTION CRACKING THAN NORMAL ROLLED ASPHALT. ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS SUCH AS PLACING STEEL-MESH REINFORCEMENT IN THE SURFACING OR COVERING THE JOINTS WITH ALUMINIUM FOIL DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE RESISTANCE TO CRACKING OF THE NORMAL ASPHALT. /RRL(A)/
