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.
