Pavement cracking
The following article will explore the impact of Pavement cracking on contemporary society. Pavement cracking has been a topic of interest and debate over the years, generating conflicting opinions among experts and the general public. This figure/person/theme has left an indelible mark on popular culture, politics, economics, and many other aspects of modern society. Through a detailed analysis we will try to shed light on the influence of Pavement cracking in different areas, as well as examine its relevance in the current context. Various perspectives will be addressed and arguments will be presented that invite reflection and debate on this topic.
Pavement crack refers to a variety of types of pavement distresses that occur on the surface of pavements. Different types of pavements develop different cracks. Type of cracking is also correlated with the type of climate and traffic.[1][2] Sometimes the cracks are aggregated using an index such as Crack index, and sometimes they are merged with other distresses and are reported using Pavement Condition Index.[3]
Types of cracking
Some of the most important types of crack are as follows:[1][4]
- Crocodile cracking, also known as alligator cracking and fatigue cracking
- Block cracking (caused by shrinkage of asphalt)
- Longitudinal cracking—wheel path
- Longitudinal cracking—non-wheel path
- Transverse cracking
- Reflection cracking at joints
- Edge cracking (caused because of poor drainage or lack of support at the edge)
- Slippage cracking
