Description The joints and cracks in pavements are sealed to prevent dirt, stones, and water from entering these openings. Water and incompressible solids in the joint inhibit normal pavement movement and cause extensive pavement damage. The demands made on the sealant material depend on pavement behavior. The movement of the pavement is a function of joint spacing, joint width, temperature range, moisture content, subbase type, and traffic volume.
