Dispelling Crack Confusion
Understanding the forces behind pavement cracking is key to effective management. Tensile, shear, and climate/temperature are the three critical forces at play. Tensile force, responsible for pavement stretching, is akin to a tug of war within the road.
Tensile force consequences include stress and strain on the pavement. Various factors contribute to tensile force in pavements, such as temperature variations, traffic loads, soil conditions, water infiltration, and design quality. Different types of cracking, like fatigue and thermal cracking in asphalt pavements, and transverse and corner cracking in concrete pavements, stem from these forces.
This knowledge is crucial for extending your pavement's Remaining Service Life (RSL). To delve deeper into crack management, check out our detailed article on Dispelling Crack Confusion: [https://lnkd.in/eePdNayM]
