Winter Tenting of Highway Pavements. Test Program and Discussion of Causes and Mechanisms
Tenting consists of localized frost heaving in the immediate vicinity of transverse pavement cracks. It produces a highly irregular riding surface, leads to premature pavement-surface deterioration, occurs on highways designed for high traffic volumes and to withstand freezing and thawing, and is frequently exhibited by pavements in otherwise good condition. The objective of the project discussed was to investigate causes and mechanics of the phenomenon. Several transverse cracks at four test sites were monitored for salt concentration, moisture content, subsurface temperature, freezing point depression, and heaving throughout several winter/spring seasons.
