| Phase I State Study No. 174, Potential Applications of Paving Fabrics to Reduce Reflective Cracking |
The primary objective is to conduct long-term monitoring of the performance of a flexible pavement which includes a paving fabric between the in-situ pavement and an HMA overlay. A comprehensive testing, monitoring, and analysis program is proposed, where twelve 500-ft pavement test sections are constructed on an existing two-lane highway, and then monitored for seven years. Particular attention is directed towards investigating the influence of overlay thickness on long-term performance. |
$40,000 |
| A comparison between the performance of paving fabric treatment systems for milled and non-milled surfaces, as well as a comparison between the performance of paving fabrics on sealed and non-sealed surfaces will be reported. In addition, a cost-benefit analysis will be performed to develop total life cycle costs for each section. This project, by accomplishing the above objectives, will provide a fundamental understanding of the behavior of paving fabric systems to reduce reflective cracking, and will offer practicing engineers a valuable alternative for more effective schemes during pavement rehabilitation strategies. |
