The reflective cracking phenomenon occurs when joints and cracks in a pavement that is generally made of concrete or cement-treated layers propagate up through the asphalt overlay and appear on the pavement surface. These cracks allow water to enter and cause the pavement deterioration process to accelerate, thereby increasing maintenance costs.

Cohesive Cracking Simulation of Asphalt Mixture with Reflective Crack through XFEM
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012Firstly, the parameters of cohesive zone model in ABAQUS software are calibrated through the cohesive constitutive model determined by cohesive potential energy, which is provided by Oriz and Pandofi（1999）. Then, the validity and liability are verified by the single element example which compares extended finite element simulation with experimental ...

Mechanistic-Empirical Approach for Modeling Reflection Cracking
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000Models developed to predict reflective cracking in flexible pavement overlays do not explicitly incorporate the combined effect of the cracked and uncracked areas in the original pavement. This affects the development of cracks in the overlay. Therefore, a model is needed that will incorporate this factor explicitly, making predicting of cracking in ...

Thermal reflective cracking of asphalt concrete overlays
International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 2010Reflective cracking of asphalt concrete (AC) overlays is one of the most extensive pavement distress and damage mechanisms in composite pavement structures. Numerous studies have been performed to evaluate the reflective cracking potential of AC overlays under different loading scenarios. Most of these studies have focused on reflective cracking due to

Wisconsin Experiences with Reflective Crack Relief Projects
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005Many agencies place hot-mix asphalt overlays on deteriorating jointed or cracked portland cement concrete pavements to improve the ride, protect the pavement structure, and reduce noise. Reflection cracking of the joints and preexisting cracks through the overlay is a persistent problem.

Application of Pre-Cracking in Semi-Rigid Base to Mitigate Reflective Cracking
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Because of the high strength and sound stability, the cement stabilized base has been widely used in high grade pavement in China. But shrinkage cracking are easy to occur in the cement stabilized base. Under the repeating action of traffic loads and temperature loads, this kind of cracks are easy to propagate towards the asphalt surface, being called “

Failure of reflective metal coatings by cracking
Thin Solid Films, 1982Abstract The relationship between point defects and severe cracking of metal films is explored. Tests carried out on coatings of chromium, copper and nickel show that cracks radiate from pinholes in the metal film. This effect has been attributed to stress concentration in the neighborhood of the pinhole.
