• Abstract:
  Deterioration of longitudinal joints is widely recognized as one of the major factors contributing to failure of asphalt pavements. Finding ; ways to improve the durability of longitudinal joints will lead to improved service lives and lower life cycle costs. Research and field ; trials have been directed towards improving joint performance since at least the 1960s. Most of that work was addressed at improving ; the density at and around the joint. This report summarizes an extensive review of the pertinent literature, a review of state ; specifications and inspection of several trial projects in Indiana related to longitudinal joint construction and performance. ; Recommendations are given for new and continuing efforts to encourage or require the construction of durable longitudinal joints and ; possible future steps.
