Book excerpt: This study investigated the current state of practice for crack sealing/filling. In addition, the INDOT crack sealing/filling practice was experimentally evaluated for the effectiveness of crack sealing/filling, the effectiveness of routing, the performance of the different types of crack sealants and fillers, the validity of sealant performance grade system, and the crack sealing/filling equipment performance. The key findings from an extensive literature review and nationwide/statewide survey performed in 2012 are the following: (1) 65% of the responses indicated that the routing is required for the crack sealing/filling application; (2) ASTM D 6690 Type II was the most widely used sealant type and only Missouri and Indiana included emulsions in their specifications as crack sealing/filling materials; and (3) crack sealing/filling equipment availability and their maintenance were the biggest concerns.Based on the two-year experimental investigation, the crack sealing/filling was determined to be effective in preventing the occurrence of pavement surface crack distress. The crack sealing/filling was concluded to be effective in maintaining crack integrity and resisting sealant and filler deformations due to the seasonal crack movement. The routing was not determined to be effective in terms of the pavement performances. However, Adhesive/Cohesive/Spalling (ACS) failure results showed that the routed sections significantly outperformed the non-routed sections. In addition, the test results indicated that the ASTM 6690 Type II crack sealants performed relatively well in terms of pavement and crack performance. The correlation between the sealant performance grades and the pavement and crack performances with different types of sealants and fillers were poor and insignificant.The experimental results showed that the cracks on wet pavement treated with HAL had significantly higher bonding between the materials and asphalt pavement surface than the cracks treated with the conventional air compressor. Therefore, the incorporation of a hot air lance in the wet condition is recommended to extend the operable time and seasonal availability for crack filling and sealing construction (2070 and 2090 Activities).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crack sealant materials are used to seal cracks early to reduce water infiltration and pavement repair. Crack sealant with high stiffness property is required due to the premature failure of sealant materials in cold weather. In order to put the sealant into the crack, crack sealing and filling technique has always been an important consideration to prolong the life of pavement. Crack sealing uses a router to cut the face of the crack to provide a uniform rectangular reservoir whereas filling is simply inserting sealant without performing any modification to the crack walls. For saving the cost of transportation agency, it is required to implement the best crack treatment techniques along with a new prospective crack sealant material. This research investigated the prospective of a new crack sealant material and its implementation techniques, and the objectives included: 1) investigating the rheology, cracking and microstructural properties of asphalt binder modified with SIS; 2) evaluating and comparing the field performance of crack treatment techniques in Texas; 3) investigating the best cost effectiveness practice between crack filling and sealing techniques; 4) quantifying the environmental impacts of crack filling and sealing treatment. The following conclusions were drawn based on the comprehensive laboratory and field investigation: 1) SIS modifier has the potential to be produced as a crack sealant material; 2) crack sealing treatment exhibited excellent performance and is observed to have on an average 37% more treatment effectiveness than crack filling treatment; 3) the highway design and maintenance program (HDM-III) and field cost input analysis showed that crack sealing can be more cost effective practice in a long run compared to filling technique; 4) although the initial environmental emissions of crack sealing treatment is higher compared to filling technique, this can be compensated along with an approximately 25% reduction in emissions by implementing crack sealing treatment over a long period; 5) implementing with proper guidelines crack sealing technique is more cost effective practice in a long run compared to filling technique.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sealing or filling cracked asphalt pavements to prevent the intrusion of water into the pavement structure has long been an accepted practice of the Montana Department of Transportation. The goals of this research are to establish the most economical and effective method of sealing pavement cracks for Montana; and to better determine the role of crack sealing within Montana pavement management system (PMS). This study has involved the construction of 4 experimental test sites within larger crack sealing projects. These test sites have included combinations of 11 sealant materials and 6 sealing techniques. Monitoring of the test sites includes visual inspections (for all of the sites) and nondestructive structural readings and surface distress identification under Montana PMS (for one test location). An estimate of the useful life of each crack sealing method has been determined from these investigations. This report presents information on project history, the project methodology used for evaluating and analyzing the performance of sealed cracks, and the results of the cost effectiveness analysis. Final results are presented for the 4 test sites: Conrad, Dutton, Tarkio, and Helena (Seiben). Results show that similar performance has been observed for all materials with ASTM D 5329 cone penetrations in excess of 90. In general, routing of transverse cracks improved the performance of the sealants. Routing does not appear necessary for centerline longitudinal cracks. Notably, router operators seem to prefer the shallow reservoir configuration as compared to square reservoirs. The test site established near Helena provided the most reliable and useful data. As such, a detailed review of the final performance from 4 1/2 years of service is summarized. In general, the highest failure rates occur during the coldest period of the year, and much of this distress exhibits a tendency to heal after exposure to the summer heat and traffic. An eclectic forecasting model has proven useful in predicting the life of crack sealing operations for those methods that did not show complete failure during the evaluation period. Structural evaluations using a Falling Weight Deflectometer did not prove an advantage for any particular sealing technique or sealing material nor did they prove the benefit of sealing cracks in asphalt pavements. Therefore, conducting a life cycle cost analysis was impractical because no structural or ride benefit was proven at this site. However, a cost effectiveness analysis was performed and the averaged results showed that, overall, Crafco 522 was the most cost effective material and the Shallow and Flush was the most cost effective fill technique. However, the crack sealing approach that has the highest cost effectiveness as calculated herein (defined as the ratio of effectiveness to cost) may not offer the best value, if this effectiveness is in excess of that required to protect the pavement from premature damage. More research is necessary to substantiate the need for higher performance materials and techniques.

Download or read book PAVEMENT ENGINEERING written by GOSWAMI, SANDIPAN and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In road projects, the pavement construction is very expensive and, therefore, the design and subsequent construction must make a proper balance between the cost and the sustainability. During the operation and maintenance period, the costs for routine maintenance (as and when pavement damage occurs) are to be kept as low as possible as there is less control towards cost of the periodic maintenance (mandatory at a contractual interval, normally 5 years). The reduction in cost for routine maintenance will relieve the project authorities from unexpected expenditures. This comprehensive text on Pavement Engineering is up-to-date with industry standards and best practices and offers an exhaustive coverage on design, construction and maintenance of pavements. The book has followed AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, 1993, besides meeting latest code provisions and pavement design methods recommended by Indian Roads Congress (IRC) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
