Description. Interconnected cracks that divide the pavement up into rectangular pieces. Blocks range in size from approximately 0.1 m 2 (1 ft 2) to 9 m 2 (100 ft 2).Larger blocks are generally classified as longitudinal and transverse cracking. Block cracking normally occurs over a large portion of pavement area but sometimes will occur only in non-traffic areas.

However, OGFC's contribution to low-temperature transverse cracking has not been documented yet in literature. This study investigates whether OGFC affects the low-temperature transverse cracking performance of asphalt concrete (AC). Cylindrical samples were prepared in the laboratory using an OGFC mix and a conventional AC mix in New Mexico.

Asphalt Content and Transverse Cracking: The negative correlation (− 0.0390) suggests a very slight inverse relationship, indicating that higher asphalt content does not necessarily lead to an increase in transverse cracking. This could point towards the complexity of the relationship between material properties and pavement performance.

Transverse cracking of asphalt pavements normally follows a sigmodal-shaped curve with service time. Thermal crack lengths with time of some pavement sections in the freeze regions showed step-wise characteristics, indicating that a critical crack increment occurs due to a sudden temperature drop with little thermal fatigue behavior. Some other ...

Transverse cracking is related to asphalt pavement structural performance. However, the method for transverse cracks identification by vehicle vibration signal has hardly been applied because of an extremely low recognition accuracy. The study aims to precisely identify the pavement transverse cracks by vehicle vibration response.

Transverse Cracking is a type of cracking caused by tension forces perpendicular to the direction of applied loads. It often occurs when normal traffic causes the pavement surface to flex in response to the loads and can be seen as parallel cracks running along the road surface usually at right angles to the centre line of the road.

One of several issues may be triggering the problem, including poor joint construction, hardening of the asphalt, or long term temperature shifts. As with transverse cracks, low severity longitudinal cracks are treated with crack seal while severe cracking requires the removal of some of the pavement layer, which is replaced with an overlay. 3.
