RIGID PAVEMENT JOINT RESEALING: FIELD APPLICATION, STATE OF THE ART

In the 1970s the New York State Department of Transportation initiated and executed field performance studies of formed-in-place sealant for future use in a statewide joint resealing program. It was determined after 3 years of service that of the six formed-inplace sealants tested, hot-poured polyvinyl chloride, conforming to ASTM D3406, performed best. A joint resealing program was initiated in Region 10 (Nassau and Suffolk counties) in 1979. There were initial field application problems. The problems are described, and the solutions used are explained.
