SITE AND LABORATORY TESTING IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE BONDING METHOD IN CONSTRUCTION JOINTS OF ASPHALT STRIPS

The importance of constructing adequate longitudinal joints lies in the fact that the rate of deterioration of the asphaltic concrete surfacing is very much dependent on the quality of the joints. This paper reviews the damages due to longitudinal joints which have been constructed improperly, presents the specifications for longitudinal joints developed by the Asphalt Institute and also those developed by the Corps of Engineers, and discusses the limited research information on the subject. It then presents the results of a site and laboratory investigation that evaluated the various construction methods for longitudinal joints. In conclusion, recommendations are presented for the construction of cold joints and semi-hot joints.
