Abstract:

The primary objective of this research study was to conduct an extensive literature review on top-down ; cracking evaluation studies, prepare a synthesis of findings, and recommend a follow up phase for a ; pilot study in Mississippi with a candidate technology. The top-down cracking appearing mostly in ; longitudinal wheel paths on asphalt highway pavements, was first reported in the 1970s in tropical ; countries, later reported in the 1980s in the UK, the Netherlands, France and South Africa, followed by ; field investigations in the late 1990s and 2000s in the United States, several European countries, and ; Japan. Since then the top-down cracking distress has been identified as the most important distress ; observed on asphalt highways in many states including Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Washington, ; Illinois, and Mississippi. Proper and timely maintenance of top-down cracking is critically important for ; thick asphalt pavements. Therefore, a procedure is needed to expedite field survey of top-down cracking ; without depending on cores. An existing viable nondestructive and noncontact technology operating at ; highway speed was not found in this study. Therefore, a problem statement for research need is ; prepared for a national study through NCHRP.
