Cold-In-Place Recycling. A method of reusing road materials in-place, by grinding up the asphalt surface, adding emulsion oil or cement binder, and mixing it with 8 to 10 inches of the roadbase layer. The surface is covered with a two course chip seal and then a 2 inch HMAC is applied. Cold-In-Place Recycling is typically used on rural roads.
A crack-sealed road can be opened to traffic almost immediately when a de-tacking agent is used. When to Perform Crack Sealing. Crack sealing should be performed before a pavement becomes too distressed. Crack sealing can be used for cracks wider than ⅛ of an inch, including block, edge, longitudinal, reflective, thermal or transverse cracking.
Crack sealing is commonly used as a transverse crack treatment [9]. Crack filling: placement of materials into "non-working" cracks to substantially reduce water infiltration and reinforce adjacent cracks. Crack filling is commonly used as a longitudinal crack treatment [9]. Crack routing: routing is used to open up the crack to accommodate ...
The common causes of pavement deterioration and degradation are overloading, seepage, improper or poor road surface drainage, lack of proper road maintenance, lack of proper design, adverse climatic conditions and some other factors. Road distresses disturb and adversely affect the traffic flow and traffic safety leading to poor performance of the road.

Functions of surface treatment: to provide long lasting economical surface for granular base road having light and medium traffic volume. To prevent entry of surface water into old pavement that have been weathered or cracked. It improve the skid resistance of bitumen surface where the surface has polished under traffic.

Evaluating and assessing the performance of the crack treatment Crack treatment is far from being the long, involved process typical of a pavement construction or ...
A bituminous surface treatment (BST), also known as a seal coat or chip seal, is a thin protective wearing surface that is applied to a pavement or base course. BSTs can provide all of the following: A waterproof layer to protect the underlying pavement. Increased skid resistance. A filler for existing cracks or raveled surfaces.
cracks in underlying pavement layers such as PCC slabs. They may extend partially or fully across the roadway. Exhibit 3-2 Transverse Cracking Transverse cracks are most typically a working crack and sealing these cracks with a rubberized material is the most effective treatment option, although crack …
This manual attempts to present a set of technical solutions and works methods commonly applied in a number of countries where the use of local resources is given serious consideration when building rural roads. Based on best practices from rural road-building programmes in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, it describes a set of work methods and procedures proven to be …
Rural Roads. Asphalt edge cracks develop more often on rural roads than they do on main roads, and they are usually symptoms of deeper underlying problems in the pavement. Rural roads are typically much narrower than main roads, so vehicles travelling in opposite directions often have to move closer to the edge of the road when passing one another.
This method involves enlarging the crack along its exposed face and filling and sealing it with a suitable joint sealant (Fig.1). This is a common technique for crack treatment and is relatively simple in comparison to the procedures and the training required for epoxy injection.
