• Abstract:
  The primary objectives of the study were to determine the probable causes of the distress and to make recommendations which could alleviate future problems. The investigation involved an analysis of construction records and laboratory test results performed during and after construction. In addition, specimens and material were obtained from the roadway for use in a laboratory evaluation. The sampling program included collection of cores, slabs, and stockpile or pit materials. The report contains a description and summary of the pavement and distress, construction procedures, and mixture characteristics, along with the findings related to the probable causes of the distress and recommendations.
