Abstract:

Refl ection of cracks in hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlays represents a serious challenge associated with pavement ; rehabilitation. Since the early 1930s, considerable resources and eff orts have been spent to fi nd new and relatively ; inexpensive techniques to delay refl ection cracking. Diff erent methods, including the use of interlayer systems, have ; been suggested for enhancing pavement resistance to refl ection cracking. Experimental investigations in the early ; 1980s showed that interlayer systems might be used to delay or to prevent the refl ection of cracks through a new ; overlay placed over an old cracked pavement. Louisiana experimented with various techniques and treatments to ; control refl ection cracking since the 1970s; however, the performance and cost-eff ectiveness of these methods were not ; evaluated in many projects. Performance and economical assessments of these various treatment methods present a ; critical need to ensure successful control of this distress and eff ective use of available funds. Therefore, it is necessary to ; analyze various pavements across the state in which these treatments were used to establish the performance and cost ; eff ectiveness of these crack control methods.
