Preventive Maintenance Treatments of Flexible Pavements

Résumé du livre

An extensive literature review was conducted to synthesize past and ongoing research related to highway pavement maintenance and preservation techniques. The literature review was augmented with a web-based email survey that was distributed to all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and 11 Canadian provinces, for a total of 62 recipients. The literature review and survey results provide interesting qualitative overviews of the state-of-the-practice of preventive maintenance treatments, and how these treatments are instigated, managed, and accessed by transportation department personnel throughout North America. This report focuses on studies that quantified the performance of various preventive maintenance treatments, including the effect these treatments have on pavement performance.
