Book excerpt: Studies of efforts in Virginia to reduce the incidence of reflection cracking when portland cement concrete pavements or bases are overlayed with asphaltic concrete are reported. The methods of reflection crack reduction discussed are: (1) The use of sand as a bond breaker between portland cement concrete pavements and asphaltic overlays, (2) the use of a high tensile strength fabric as a stress relieving layer between two asphaltic concrete overlays of an old portland cement concrete pavement on a weak subbase, and (3) the use of two types of fabric as stress relieving layers between asphaltic layers and a concrete base on a very strong subbase and subgrade. The following conclusions were drawn. 1. Neither sand as a bond breaker nor high strength fabrics as stress relieving layers are effective in reducing reflection cracking where vertical joint movement (differential deflection) is a significant factor. 2. When differential deflections are greater than about 0.002 in (0.05 mm) reflection cracks form early. Such cracking is delayed for lower differential deflection but may occur as the magnitude and frequency of wheel loadings increase. 3. Both an asphalt impregnated polypropylene fabric and an unwoven, spun-bonded nylon fabric, when placed to span joints in portland cement concrete base and covered with an asphaltic concrete, overlay, are able to sustain the formation of reflection cracking in the overlaying layer without undergoing damage. 4. An asphalt impregnated polypropylene fabric spanning the joints in portland cement concrete pavements, and placed between the pavement and an asphaltic overlay, may be effective in reducing the infiltration of surface water to pavement sub-layers. There is some evidence that pavement pumping may be reduced by this method. 5. Both an asphalt impregnated polypropylene fabric and an unwoven, spun-bonded nylon fabric can delay the formation of reflection cracking. There is strong evidence, however, that such cracking is fatigue in nature and will eventually develop under the application of repetitive wheel loadings.
Book Synopsis Heavy Duty Membrane for the Reduction of Reflective Cracking in Bituminous Concrete Overlays by : GL. Hoffman
Download or read book Heavy Duty Membrane for the Reduction of Reflective Cracking in Bituminous Concrete Overlays written by GL. Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of reflective cracking in asphaltic concrete overlays is a major factor contributing to the premature failure in the pavement system. This reflective cracking is caused by cyclic stresses induced in the overlay by movements in the underlying pavement. Recent work done with heavy duty membranes has shown that they may be useful in retarding this reflective crack formation. Seven different types of heavy duty membranes were placed over portland cement concrete pavement joints at a site in Pennsylvania before the roadway was overlayed with asphaltic concrete. Control sections, without any membranes, were also built into the project for comparison purposes. This work will evaluate the ability of these membranes to reduce the occurrence of reflective cracking over transverse and longitudinal joints and to function as a water stop once cracking has occurred.

Download or read book Portland Cement Concrete Resurfacing written by Kenneth H. McGhee and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1994 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of special interest to pavement designers, materials engineers, and others seeking information on portland cement concrete resurfacings (overlays) placed over both portland and asphalt cement concrete pavements. Information is presented on the various practices in use for the design, material selection, and construction techniques associated with each pavement type. Additional information is provided on resurfacing experience and performance, including an Appendix cataloging more than 700 existing resurfacing projects in North America. Transportation agencies in the United States are continuing to develop pavement management systems which take an objective and structured approach to life-cycle cost analysis requirements for pavement rehabilitation project analysis. This report of the Transportation Research Board also discusses the considerations involved in the selection of technically feasible resurfacing alternatives. Based on the longitudinal experience of 375 resurfacing projects that were cataloged in 1982 and the more than 700 projects identified in 1993, much useful information on the performance characteristics of portland cement concrete resurfacing is presented.
Book Synopsis Study of Reflection Cracking in Asphaltic Concrete Overlay Pavements by : Stanley M. Kanarowski
Download or read book Study of Reflection Cracking in Asphaltic Concrete Overlay Pavements written by Stanley M. Kanarowski and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report encompasses the results of a literature search, a survey of state highway departments, and an on-site field inspection of techniques used by state and federal agencies to control reflection cracking in asphaltic concrete overlays principally on portland cement concrete pavements. Procedures were generally for the purpose of isolating the overlay from the effect of movement in the underlying pavement or reinforcing the overlay. These procedures are made more effective by measures designed to prevent or minimize the underlying pavement movement. The methods found helpful in reducing reflection cracking include wire mesh reinforcement in the asphaltic concrete (AC) overlay; use of bond-breakers between the portland cement concrete (PCC) and the AC overlay; addition of an aggregate base course over the PCC followed by an AC overlay; pretreatment of the old PCC, such as mudjacking, subsealing, or cracking the old pavement by heavy rolling or with a hydraulic or pneumatic hammer; use of additives and other modifications in the AC composition. Many of the test installations inspected are 3 to 13 years old and in good to excellent condition. Normally, when using regular AC overlay procedures, reflection cracking begins to show up within 1 year or season cycle and cracks are larger than when special techniques are used. Results of the study indicate that there is no known 100% effective method for eliminating reflection cracking. Overall, a number of techniques have substantially delayed serious transverse reflection cracking, appear to have reduced longitudinal reflection cracking at pavement widening joints, and have reduced maintenance considerably.

Godwin and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt concrete overlays of a jointed or cracked portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement can develop reflective cracking because of either horizontal or vertical movement of the PCC. One method that can be used to reduce the reflective cracking is cracking and seating of the PCC prior to placement of the asphalt concrete overlay. The PCC is cracked into approximately 18-in. pieces, after which a heavy pneumatic-tired roller is used to seat the pieces of concrete to prevent rocking or movement under traffic. This report provides guidance for the application of the cracking and seating method for reducing reflective cracking. Keywords: Maintenance, Repair, Concrete coatings.

Download or read book A Rational Approach to the Prediction of Reflective Cracking in Bituminous Overlays for Concrete Pavements written by Thomas Bennert and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is used as the primary overlying material of concrete pavements during rehabilitation because of its inexpensive nature when compared to most Portland cement concrete (PCC) rehabilitation/reconstruction alternatives. However, due to the majority of the PCC pavements being in average to poor condition, many HMA overlays are exposed to extreme movements (both vertical and horizontal). The combination of associated load and environmentally induced movements creates complex stresses and strains in the vicinity of expansion joints and cracks in the PCC, thus dramatically reducing the life of the HMA overlay, typically in the form of reflective cracking. Reflective cracking is a fatigue cracking distress, which is initiated at the bottom of the HMA overlay and propagates to the surface. When the crack reaches the HMA overlay surface, not only does it affect the ride quality and overall integrity of the pavement surface, but it also creates a path for which water can migrate down into and below the PCC layer. This can ultimately reduce the overall structural support of the composite (HMA and PCC) pavement and result in a complete pavement failure. Medium to high severity reflective cracking results in poor surface conditions that could lead to poor driving conditions and higher accident rates. Therefore, this research is timely in that it not only addresses the structural integrity of the pavement system, but also the safety of the driving public, which is one of the main objectives of the administration at state agencies. To better understand the mechanisms associated with the development of reflective cracking, an extensive literature review was conducted. Analysis of the literature review indicated significant gaps in the current state of the practice in using bituminous overlays on PCC pavements. To fill in these gaps, a survey was developed, distributed to the state transportation agencies of all fifty states, and compiled to better define the scope of the research. The survey clearly identified that a major gap in the current state of the practice is linking the field conditions (climate, deflections, traffic levels) to appropriate laboratory testing protocols. Therefore, field test sections were selected with appropriate field forensic testing and traffic collection. During construction of the bituminous overlays, loose mix was collected and brought back to the laboratory for material characterization testing that would simulate the loading conditions associated with the respective test section. The research conducted during the development of this thesis has led to a rational approach in the prediction of reflective cracking potential in HMA overlays placed on PCC pavements. This methodology utilizes field forensic information that would normally be collected during the evaluation of the PCC/composite pavement prior to rehabilitation and laboratory fatigue and stiffness characterization of the HMA mixture(s), to predict the potential for reflective cracking in the bituminous overlay mixture(s). The extensive laboratory testing and field calibration/verification information utilized in the research has also led to "decision tree" methodology that would allow state agencies to properly select asphalt mixtures for overlaying PCC pavements.
Book Synopsis The Use of Fabric Reinforced Overlays to Control Reflection Cracking of Composite Pavements by : Kenneth H. McGhee
Download or read book The Use of Fabric Reinforced Overlays to Control Reflection Cracking of Composite Pavements written by Kenneth H. McGhee and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fabric reinforcement was used in an attempt to prevent reflection cracking of two bituminous concrete layers overlying an 8-inch plain (unreinforced, unjointed) concrete base that was underlain by a portland cement stabilized subbase material. On these pavements it was expected that the extremely rigid base and subbase layers would reduce vertical motion to a minimum. Similar pavements constructed with no overlay reinforcement readily showed reflection cracking in the bituminous layers, presumably because of horizontal, thermally induced movements of shrinkage cracks in the concrete base.
