Asphalt Concrete Factors Related to Pavement Cracking in West Texas
This report presents results of research to define the influence of various properties of the asphalt concrete on pavement cracking due to low temperatures experienced on several projects in West Texas. Cracking due to thermal shrinkage can be predicted by methods that have been used in the colder climates of Canada and elsewhere. The computer based prediction model for low temperature cracking referred to as COLD (Computation of Low-Temperature Damage) was used to analyze data from this project. Two sections were compared, one which exhibited cracking, with the other having no cracking. Thermally induced stresses that exceeded the tensile strength were obtained for the one section, but were far less than the expected strength for the other section exhibiting no cracking. Use of the COLD program to predict cracking by thermal shrinkage yielded results which were compatible with observed field performance of these two pavements in West Texas.
