49 Conclusions Findings The data presented in Chapter 3 suggest the following general findings regarding the manner in which state DOTs consider, select, and use joint sealants: • Many agencies believe there is a need for joint sealing, that joint sealants are an important element of concrete pavement performance, and that there are long-term benefits to promoting and carrying out quality joint sealant practices. • There appears to be a benefit to documenting or monitoring measures to track the impact of sealant conditions on pavement performance, but survey results suggest that joint sealant condition is not well documented.

50 Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Joint Sealant Practices and Performance Consequently, there is a possibility that the performance of filled joint sealant will still lead to erosion damage and faulting or other distresses caused by the debonding of the joint sealant. This also may not be true in all circumstances, which suggests the need for a more in-depth investigation as follow-up.
