Article Synopsis
- Transverse cracking is a significant issue in semi-rigid base asphalt pavement due to factors like shrinkage in layers and reflective cracks, which affect crack spacing.
- The study developed a calculation model to analyze transverse crack spacing, considering influences from shrinkage coefficients, layer thickness, and pavement tensile strength.
- Results indicate optimal designs involve using lower lime and fly ash content, specific gradations, and adjustments to thickness and strength, with effective transverse crack spacings identified after reflective cracks appear.
