Abstract

The joint between two lanes of asphalt pavement is often the first area of a roadway which shows signs of deterioration and requires maintenance. As the final lift of hot asphalt is being placed in a construction project, it is being forced p against the adjoining lane of cold asphalt, forming the longitudinal joint. The mating of the two lanes, to form a high quality seal, is often not fully successful and later results in premature stripping or raveling as water enters the unsealed joint. The application of a hot poured rubberized asphaltic joint sealant along the joint face in the final stage of construction should help to form a watertight joint seal. A new product, especially formulated for the longitudinal joint in asphalt pavements was proposed to improve joint sealing. The following describes the experimental application of the new product, Crafco, PN 34524.
