Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Improving the durability of asphalt pavements is an on-going goal to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the hot-mix industry. One way to achieve this goal is to construct proper longitudinal joints. While proper construction techniques are important in contributing to the quality of a longitudinal joint, increased awareness of the issues which should be considered during the planning and design of projects plays an equally important role in producing desirable joint quality. This report presents a holistic approach to improving the quality of the longitudinal joints which are expected to increase the durability of asphalt pavements."--Document.
