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: Sealing of cracks in asphalt surfaced pavements has long been one of the widely practiced pavement maintenance strategies by the highway agencies in including Ohio Department of Transportation. Crack sealing is performed with intent to reduce water infiltration, prevent pumping and avoid the need for premature base and pavement repair. A successful crack sealing project can result in numerous benefits such as - improved pavement condition, increased safety, extended service life, reduced maintenance and rehabilitation needs and overall, lower life cycle costs. A host of factors namely: sealing materials, placement techniques, equipment, pavement types and condition, type and severity of crack sealed, regional environmental and traffic conditions, evaluation procedures and so on are known to directly influence the level of success that can be attained in a crack sealing project. These variables often act individually or collectively to affect the outcome of a crack seal project. Despite the intended benefits, crack sealing may also affect the pavement in many ways like, tracking of sealing material by tire action, reduced skid resistance, a rougher pavement etc. Crack sealing is beneficial if pavement life is increased while maintaining serviceability.

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 Evaluation of Flexible Pavement Crack Sealing Methods Used in Utah written by Michael C. Belangie and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to develop criteria to improve the effectiveness of Utah's flexible pavement crack sealing practice. The methodology involved field measurements of seasonal variation in crack width and in-depth interviews of Department members at various levels of management in maintenance, materials, construction, and research. Other states were queried by questionnaire in order to obtain a comparative base on with to evaluate Utah's practice. Findings indicate that flexible pavement cracking is a significant problem in the Far West, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, and New England. Criteria to determine when to seal (fill) cracks, and materials or techniques to be used vary widely. Choice of materials if affected by storage requirements and equipment available. Prepackaging of materials especially designed for crack sealing has resulted in improvements in control of mix and material properties; further gains can be anticipated as mix design improves and material specifications become more exact.. Low temperature and freeze thaw cycles significantly affect the amount of thermal cracking and the performance of crack sealant. Poor rideability, increased pavement deterioration, obscured traffic markings, lowered skid resistance can result from inappropriate selection and installation of crack sealants. Ductile sealants such as Crumb rubber/asphalt cement mixes, in combination with routing appear to offer substantial gains in sealant life and performance. These gains are partially offset by increased installation cost and hazard to the operator. Existing data is insufficient for benefit/cost analysis.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, a Vanguard High Pressure Water Blaster capable of providing 10 gallons of water per minute at 2000 psi was purchased to evaluate water blasting as a crack cleaning method prior to crack filling on asphalt concrete pavements. Afer some iniital trials demonstrated its effectiveness of removing dirt, debris and vegetation, it was included in joint and crack maintenance research on Iowa 7 in Webster County. The objective of the research was to evaluate six crack preparation methods and seven "sealant" materials. The cleaning and sealing was performed in the spring of 1983. Visual evaluations of the performance were made in the fall of 1983 and spring of 1985. Compressed air and/or high pressure water did not adequately prepare cracks less than 3/8 inch wide. Routing or sawing was necessary to provide a sealant reservoir. The water blaster was more effective than compressed air in removing dirt, debris and vegetation but this did not yield significant improvement in sealant adhesion or longevity. Periodic crack filling is necessary on ACC surfaces throughout the remaining life of the pavement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research project HR-231, "Special Surface Preparation Prior to Bituminous Overlay", was initiated in 1982 to study the efectiveness of 3 different crack fillers in extending pavement life. In particualr, this project was designed to determine if any of the fillers could substantially reduce the rate of subsurface deterioration and general deterioration of an asphalt pavement at crack locations. This project also sought to determine the effects of the various crck filling procedures on different thicknesses of bituminous overlays. The three fillers, a fly ash slurry, an emulsion, and a rubberized asphalt mixture, were used along with a control section with no crack filler material on a 2.5 mile section of Cerro Gordo Trunk Route S-25 south of the town of Thornton. This report discusses the construction and performance of each filler material and makes recommendations concerning future use of any of the materials used
Download or read book Crack Sealing Methods and Materials for Flexible Pavements written by Michael C. Belangie and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study used over forty-four lane miles of test site to gather up to three years of comparative performance data on thirteen crack sealants. The data indicates that the more durable, high ductility materials when applied in a band-aid configuration can be expected to give significantly better performance than the lower ductility materials used by the Utah DOT prior to 1983. Evaluation of sealant placement procedures indicates that routing is a questionable practice, and that the hot compressed air lance may significantly improve the performance of materials placed during cold or wet conditions. Evaluation of UDOT maintenance activities indicates that sealant melters cannot achieve or maintain the required sealant application temperatures under colder winter conditions. The efficiency of melter units should be improved or not operated under those conditions. More accurate temperature gauges on melter units should be acquired. Inaccurate gauges may cause impaired sealant performance and safety.
