Strategies to reduce flexible pavement cracking in Florida
Cracking of flexible pavements, particularly top-down cracking, is the predominant distress in Florida. However, pavement failures due to cracking have reduced by ten per cent over the last ten years. This improvement in cracking resistance is primarily due to a focused and multifaceted research effort that includes laboratory studies, field test sections, and accelerated pavement testing. Most research efforts can be grouped into three main categories: asphalt binder modification, reflection cracking mitigation, and tack coat application rates and type. This paper presents the findings of these research studies and the strategies the Florida Department of Transportation has implemented to improve cracking resistance of flexible pavements.
