... 3 This chapter introduces the synthesis topic and need for information on current pavement patching practices. It defines the scope of the project and the approach used to gather pertinent information.
From page 4...
... 4 survey to identify states with the most information on particular aspects of patching practices. A total of 48 states plus the District of Columbia responded to the survey; a response rate of 96.1%.
From page 5...
... 5 In concrete pavements, some of the distresses that can be addressed through patching include deterioration around cracks (such as durability "D" cracks, map cracking, and longitudinal or transverse cracks) , scaling, popouts, and blowups.
From page 6...
... 6 Patch Materials A wide variety of materials is used for patching, especially for concrete pavements. Some form of asphalt mixture is commonly used to patch both asphalt and concrete pavements.
