Heavy Duty Membranes for the Reduction of Reflective Cracking in Bituminous Concrete Overlays: A Follow-Up Report
Seven types of heavy duty membranes were tested to determine their effect on reducing reflective cracks in bituminous overlays of rigid pavement. The final report for the project which was completed in August 1985 indicated significantly better performance of the treated transverse cracks and joints, and recommended the approval of four membranes for this specific use. The follow-up report reexamined the ability of these membranes in reducing reflective cracks six years after their original application. It is concluded that there is no need for using heavy duty membranes to treat longitudinal joints and cracks. Based on the analysis of crack data from the survey it is apparent that the same degree of reflective cracking occurred in the membrane-treated sections as over the untred joints and cracks, if the cracking observed on all the membrane sections is combined together. However, based on individual product section cracking two types are recommended to remain on the approved list for treatment of transverse cracks and joints.
