Best Practices for Longitudinal Joint Construction and Compaction
Clemson University has released a report that evaluates different joint construction techniques used in South Carolina to compare the effects of multiple variables on the quality and performance of longitudinal joints. Joints are the weakest area of an asphalt pavement and longitudinal joint cracking occurs for a number of reasons that lead to low density, low indirect tensile strength, and high permeability at the joint.
