CRACK CONTROL JOINTS IN BITUMINOUS OVERLAYS ON RIGID PAVEMENTS
THIS RESEARCH STUDY CONCERNS A METHOD OF CONTROLLING REFLECTION CRACKS IN BITUMINOUS CONCRETE OVERLAYS OVER THE TRANSVERSE JOINTS OF RIGID PAVEMENTS. THE STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN TO DETERMINE WHETHER SAWING AND SEALING JOINTS WOULD EXTEND THE MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFE OF THE OVERLAY SUFFICIENTLY TO JUSTIFY THE ADDITIONAL COST. THE EXPERIMENTAL SECTIONS HAVE BEEN UNDER OBSERVATION FOR THREE YEARS. RESULTS TO DATE INDICATE A SUBSTANTIAL EXTENSION OF THE MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFE OF THE OVERLAY AND CONSEQUENTLY A REDUCTION IN THE ANNUAL COST PER SQUARE YARD OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE OVERLAYS. /AUTHOR/
