Title: Basics of Longitudinal Joint Compaction

Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Most of the problems that are observed in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements are related to one of three issues: insufficient compaction of longitudinal joints, segregation, or low mat density. Solving these construction problems can result in an increase in the pavement life resulting in significant cost savings. This report deals with compaction of longitudinal joints. During the construction process much effort must be provided to the longitudinal joint to ensure a uniform, high-quality joint is obtained. Poor compaction of longitudinal joints typically results in joint cracking and opening and in raveling of the adjacent material. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of methods that have been used to construct longitudinal joints and to provide some guidance to ways to achieve better longitudinal joints.
