ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: In 2002, a severely cracked highway was overlaid, in part, with a stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mix and a coarse mix with asbestos fiber (EGA) commonly used in Quebec. Before the paving operation, a complete mapping of the transversal and longitudinal cracking, both in and outside the wheel path, was done. The operation was repeated two years later in order to evaluate the capacity of those two mixes to slow the apparition of reflective cracking.
