Bituminous pavements cover a large part of Canada's roadway network. Traffic and
environmental loadings cause distresses and damages in the pavement structure. A …

This paper describes the results of an investigation into the capabilities of the GPR
technique within the field of pavement crack diagnostics. Initially, laboratory tests were …

The cyclic temperature variation causes contraction and curling of concrete slabs, which
results in thermal-induced reflective cracking in asphalt overlay. This study developed finite …

Application of geogrids for asphalt layers in road and airport pavements has been studied
since early 1980s. This type of geosynthetics is feasible to mitigate reflective cracking and to …

Composite pavement provides an effective and quick solution to restore structural and
functional capacity of airfield pavement. However, discontinuities of concrete slabs cause …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the shear and fatigue behavior of asphalt concrete (AC)
overlay on Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement with different interlayer bonding …

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay is regarded as an efficient method to rehabilitate moderately
deteriorated pavements. Despite the application of an adequately designed overlay, when …

Reflective cracking is the phenomenon of propagation of cracks from an existing cracked
pavement surface into and through the newly laid overlay due to the load or temperature …

Abstract Purpose In Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlays, the existing cracks in the underlying
pavements can propagate upward to the new added overlay and may cause Reflective …

Geosynthetics interlayer systems are effective techniques to control reflective cracking in
damaged pavements. It comprises the inclusion of nonwoven geotextiles between the …
