Asphalt Reports Samples For Students

Introduction

This report will focus on failure damage on the road. It will take the given specifications from the director, and examine three different types of failure damage on a 300 meter stretch of pavement. The purpose of this project is to understand the road layers and the problems that may effect on each layer with different causes in each damaged selected location. This project also highlights the important role of creating study case and the advantage of making early fixing or maintenance to avoid the future unexpected damage on road. Moreover, this project’s emphasis how weather condition has the ...

Abstract

Flexible pavement distresses are caused by poor design, wear and tear, and traffic loading beyond design capacity. The amount of loading that a pavement can bear without failure is determined by the strength of the subgrade and the surface layer. Pavement failures are of eight major types; potholes, bleeding, alligator cracking, rutting, shoving, depression, block cracking, and longitudinal cracking. Each pavement distress has causal gents and repair methods defined by local and international codes. This report shall focus on bleeding, potholes, and alligator failure.

- Introduction
The subject of this study concerns some of the most serious pavement deficiencies: alligator cracking, bleeding, and potholes. Alligator cracking and potholes can often shorten the pavement’s lifespan. Bleeding more often impacts road safety; bleeding causes reduced friction which, in turn, can cause skidding for drivers. The case study focuses on alligator cracking, potholes, and bleeding in an effort to explain their impact on pavement, as well as how they are remedied. In an effort to better understand the detriment these issues cause, a local two-lane road was studied for evidence of distress and damage.
