| Description |
The overlay of a cracked pavement is subject to
reflective cracking due the existing crack potential. In a cracked pavement,
this cracking potential can be evaluated by beans of the crack activity due to
traffic loads and the temperature gradient. In this work, the crack activity
was measured with a Crack Activity Meter on 14 test sections of Portuguese
flexible pavements. The resulting crack activities were analyzed and the
influence of pavement conditions was evaluated, which in turn lead to the
development of a model to predict crack activity before overlay.
