Reflection Cracking of Bituminous Overlays on Rigid Pavements
Overlaying concrete pavements prolongs their service life, but the reflection cracking that ensues creates a new maintenance problem. New York State has tried several methods of retarding this cracking, with the following results: breaking the concrete pavement into small pieces has prevented reflection cracking but the overlay tested was far thicker than the normal section, and stone-dust bond-breakers did not retard reflection cracking. In addition, the extent of the statewide problem was surveyed, and three overlays near Albany are being observed closely from construction through subsequent service. (Author Modified Abstract)
