502 - HMA Crack Treatment
GENERAL
HMA Crack Treatment on Roads With Centerline or Shoulder Corrugations (Rumble Strips)
If a transverse crack that will be routed or sawed intersects a corrugation (rumble strip), stop the reservoir six inches short of the corrugation. Overband crack fill the remaining six inches, as well as the crack within the corrugation. If there are secondary cracks within the corrugation, limit the overband to the primary crack; the overband width should not exceed four inches.
If the longitudinal joint located within a corrugation requires overbanding, apply the overband continuously along the longitudinal joint. If there are secondary cracks, limit the overband within the corrugation to the primary longitudinal crack and do not exceed four inches in width.
Allow a maximum overband thickness of ½ inch when overband crack filling within a corrugation.
