THE EFFECT OF PAVEMENT BREAKER-ROLLING ON THE CRACK REFLECTANCE OF BITUMINOUS OVERLAYS

THE PURPOSE WAS TO DETERMINE WHETHER BREAKING A CONCRETE PAVEMENT PRIOR TO BEING OVERLAID WOULD RESULT IN ANY REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF CRACK REFLECTANCE. THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND PERFORMANCE OF A TYPICAL WIDENING AND RESURFACING PROJECT, ON A PORTION OF WHICH A 59-TON ROLLER WAS USED TO CRACK THE OLD CONCRETE SLAB PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION. THIS PROCESS WAS FOUND TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE SOME TYPES OF CRACKING AND IS RECOMMENDED FOR FUTURE PROJECTS OF THIS NATURE. /AUTHOR/
