Reflective cracking on roads and measures to control it
Road surfaces whether flexible, rigid or semi-rigid are subjected to traffic loads and thermal deformation leading to formation of cracks on the road surface. The asphatic overlay is generally carried out to retard the propagation of these cracks. However, the cracks from the underlaying old pavement tend propagate onto the new overlaid surface; these are termed as reflective cracking. The mechanism of propagation of reflective cracks and the various measures to control these have been discussed in the paper. Geotextiles are effective in controlling reflective cracking and improve the surface life of the road.
