Abstract:

Road-width thermal cracks (major transverse cracks) are perhaps the most noticeable form of crack-related damage on AC pavements ; throughout colder areas of Alaska. The main objective of this study is to recommend design strategies and construction practices aimed ; at controlling thermal cracking in AC pavements. In this report, literature review summarizes selected items of the engineering literature ; directly relevant to precutting of pavement-type structures and control of thermal cracking in general. Crack surveys and data collection ; were conducted at the test sections in an AKDOT&PF resurfacing project to compare various precut strategies (variations of cut spacing ; and depth), with the locations of natural major transverse cracks both before and after construction. Laboratory testing and numerical ; analysis were also presented to provide basic data about the physical properties of the AC and help explain some of the observed ; characteristics associated with natural thermal cracking.
