• Abstract:
  Following up on earlier research performed by several states and the ; National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) at Auburn University, the ; University of Connecticut’s Advanced Pavement Lab (CAP Lab) was ; charged with evaluating the longitudinal notched wedge (NW) joint on ; hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements in Connecticut. By placing one lift with a ; wedge joint on the edge, then placing a second overlapping lift, it was ; believed the early deterioration of traditional butt joints could be avoided.
