Title: Constructing Longitudinal Joints with Lower Voids
Accession Number: 01033781
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had experienced some failures at longitudinal joints of its hot-mix asphalt pavements In the past, it had directed the contractors to construct a specific type of longitudinal joint. However, many projects had poor joint densities even when the specified joint was constructed. Therefore, it was decided to change the longitudinal joint specification into an end-result specification, wherein no specific type of joint construction is mandated, but the lower acceptable joint density is specified and payment is reduced when more than 10% of the longitudinal joints in a lot fall below the lower limit. The Port Authority found that most longitudinal joints will have good density when properly placed and compacted. The in-place density of the longitudinal joint has improved with this end-result specification.
