REFLECTION CRACK SEALING STUDY

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF "RECLAMITE" WHEN USED AS A SEALANT IS COMPARED WITH THAT OF THE MATERIAL NOW IN USE (CATIONIC EMULSFIED ASPHALT-RS-3K). THE EVALUATION WAS LIMITED TO REFLECTION CRACKS DEVELOPED IN HMAC PAVEMENTS PLACED ON PCC PAVEMENTS OR PORTLAND CEMENT STABILIZED BASES. NEITHER SEALANT WAS SATISFACTORY. FURTHER STUDIES SHOULD BE MADE TO EVALUATE OTHER MATERIALS. AT TWO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS THE JOINTS WERE 78% SEALED WITH OREIGN MATTER. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE ON THESE UNTREATED SECTIONS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF NOT SEALING AND WHETHER SEALING IS EVEN NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE. /AUTHOR/
