Quantifying the Effects of Preservation Treatments on Pavement Performance

摘要

For highway agencies, preservation is essential in maintaining and improving the functional condition of a pavement at a relatively low cost. Pavement preservation may not affect the structural, load-carrying capacity of a pavement but serves many other purposes, such as sealing the surface to reduce the infiltration of moisture into the pavement structure or patching cracks to correct localized surface defects.
