Discrete element simulation of crack resistance of asphalt pavement with geotextile reinforced graded gravel base [PDF]
AIP AdvancesTo address reflective cracking in semi-rigid base asphalt pavements, conventional graded gravel transition layers are found to cause anisotropy errors in finite element simulations and be prone to plastic deformation; therefore, this study proposes a ...

Accelerated Laboratory Testing for Reflective Cracking [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Transport Infrastructure, 2021 Abstract One of the most used methods of rehabilitation of road structures is the laying of a protective asphalt layer over a degraded concrete. The main problem of this solution is the reflective cracking, more precisely the transmission of the existing cracks in the lower layer in the asphalt pavement.

Discussion on Road Reflection Crack and Control
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract This paper focused on the problems encountered in the road construction of a coal-fired power plant in the Philippines as an example. Some cracks and damage appeared in the roadbed after the road concrete base layer has been built.

Reflective cracking behavior for traffic and temperature effects [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents a study on the influence of the effects of temperature variations, in comparison with traffic effects, on the reflective cracking overlay behavior. It is intended to contribute to the improvement of the pavement overlay design methods which consider reflective cracking as one among distress criteria.

Experimental Evaluation of Engineered Cementitious Composites as Reflective Crack Control Interlayer for Composite Pavements [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 Reflective cracking at transverse joints is considered as a predominant distress in composite pavements. Various interlayers have been used previously to prevent or retard reflective cracking.

Review of reflective cracking in composite pavements
International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology, 2020 Reflective cracking is identified as the main weakness of composite pavement in airfield and highways forcing the authorities to devote a large portion of their budget to rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of the existing composite pavements. It is, therefore, very important to have a better understanding of the reflective cracking mechanism to ...
