Two New Resources for Fighting Bad Joints

Constructing long-lasting asphalt pavements requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to asphalt longitudinal joints. When constructed properly, these joints contribute to the longevity and resilience of roadways. However, poor execution can result in costly maintenance and repair issues. 

The Consortium for Asphalt Pavement Research and Implementation (CAPRI) is pleased to introduce the launch of two new resources—
