Proceedings pro011 : 4th International RILEM Conference on Reflective Cracking in PavementsOttawa, Ontario, Canada (2000)

Title: 4th International RILEM Conference on Reflective Cracking in Pavements Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (2000) Edited by A. O. Abd El Halim, D. A. Taylor and El H. H. Mohamed ISBN: 2-912143-14-4 e-ISBN: 2351580265 Pages: 549 Publication date: 2000

Crack propagation through a new overlay in a road structure is one of the main causes of premature pavement deterioration.
The phenomenon of reflective cracking is widespread in many countries and, with the ever-present financial restrictions, transportation authorities have to find economic means of repairing and upgrading their pavements.
This book presents the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Reflective Cracking in Pavements, organized by the RILEM Technical Committee 157-PRC, Carleton University, the National Research Council of Canada, the Transportation Association of Canada and the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. It was held in Ottawa, Canada, March 26 - 30, 2000. Fifty international papers cover the main topics of the conference:
· Design and analysis
· Resistance to cracking
· Crack prevention - Modified mixes
· Crack prevention - Stress relief layers
· Crack prevention - Pre-cracking
· Crack prevention - Pavement reinforcement materials
· Evaluation of prevention techniques
The conference reflects the interest of professionals and the major research efforts continuing around the world to mitigate the effects of reflective cracking in roadway pavements by the development and application of innovative technologies. This volume will be a vital source of information for highway researchers, engineers, contractors and authorities involved in road construction and maintenance.
