Longitudinal Joint Construction Performance
Status: Complete
Project End Date: Sept. 2018
Final report
Longitudinal Joint Construction Performance (pdf), Sept. 2018
Project summary
The construction of longitudinal joints in an asphalt pavement is typically the most difficult to achieve high density due to viscosity of pavements at high temperatures. Thus, deterioration of longitudinal joints is one of the major distresses facing agencies. The goal of this Tech Transfer would be to compile research and specifications from the NRRA states and others into a synthesis for publication.
