Abstract:A longitudinal joint is the interface between two adjacent and parallel hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mats. Inadequate joint construction can lead to a location where water can penetrate the pavement layers and reduce the structural support of the underlying base and subbase layers.
Furthermore, water that penetrates asphalt layers may reside there and make the layers more susceptible to moisture damage through freeze-thaw cycling and/or subject the layers to large hydraulic loads if the water cannot dissipate quickly due to heavy loading.
