4. Crack formation on asphalt concrete surfaces. Occurrence and prevention

Lecture plan:

1. Theoretical prerequisites for the occurrence and development of cracks in an asphalt concrete coating
2. Generally recognized ways of increasing the crack resistance of asphalt concrete
3. Temperature stresses, fatigue and aging of the binder as prerequisites for cracking
4. Controlled change in the properties of the binder to eliminate the prerequisites for asphalt concrete cracking
