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 .
Pavers (flooring), an outdoor floor done in blocks; Permeable paving, paving that enables stormwater to flow through it or between gaps; Portuguese pavement, the traditional paving used in most pedestrian areas in Portugal; Resin-bound paving, a mixture of aggregate stones and resin used to pave footpaths, driveways, etc.
When a reinforced concrete member is put in tension, after cracking, the member elongates by widening of cracks and by formation of new cracks. Figure 1 Formation of internal cracks Ignoring the small elastic strain in the concrete between the cracks, we can relate the crack width to the strain of the member by:
Permeable pavement surfaces may be composed of; pervious concrete, porous asphalt, paving stones, or interlocking pavers. [1] Unlike traditional impervious paving materials such as concrete and asphalt, permeable paving systems allow stormwater to percolate and infiltrate through the pavement and into the aggregate layers and/or soil below.
If left uncorrected, this reduces the thickness of the pavement, reducing the affected portion's ability to carry its designed loading. [1] This can cause fatigue cracking to develop rapidly, as overloading will happen with loads of less magnitude or frequency. Edge cracking is the formation of crescent-shaped cracks near the edge of a road. [3]
