    Surface deterioration of asphalt pavement is caused by the combined effects of traffic loading and environmental conditions over time. The four major categories of surface distress that can develop are cracking, surface deformation, disintegration such as potholes, and surface defects like bleeding. Cracking, the most common type of distress, includes fatigue cracking seen as interconnected cracks forming irregular pieces, longitudinal and transverse cracks parallel or perpendicular to the roadway centerline, and other types of cracking such as block, slippage, reflective, and edge cracking.

    SURFACE DETERIORATION

    -is the process by which distress (defects) develop in the pavement under the combined effects of
    traffic loading and environmental conditions
    Types of SURFACE deterioration: The four major categories of common asphalt pavement surface distresses are:
    1. Cracking
    2. Surface deformation
    3. Disintegration (potholes, etc.)
    4. Surface defects (bleeding, etc.)
    A. Cracking: The most common types of cracking are:
    1. Fatigue cracking-is a series of interconnected cracks creating small, irregular shaped pieces of pavement
    2. Longitudinal cracking- are long cracks that run parallel to the center line of the roadway
    3. Transverse cracking- formss at approximately right angles to the centerline of the roadway
    4. Block cracking
    5. Slippage cracking
    6. Reflective cracking
    7. Edge cracking
