به خواندن ادامه دهیدIt is not an accident that longitudinal joint failures are primarily associated with the northern areas of the country, where freeze/thaw cycling is an annual occurrence. As joints open, more water infiltrates, migrating under the asphalt pavement mats. Eventually the wearing surface mat begins to separate from the lower asphalt pavement surface.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدLongitudinal joints are often the weakest part in a hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement. Common problems associated with joints are the formations of longitudinal cracks along the joint, ravelling, and widening of crack due to subsequent ingress of water. It is believed that these problems occur when there is a substantial difference in densities on either side of the joint.
