Engineering Properties of Asphalt Concrete Patching Mixtures

Potholes are a visible and annoying form of pavement distress for highway users. One reason for the short life of pothole repairs is that the commonly used patching mixtures cannot withstand the wet weather and the traffic loading. A comprehensive laboratory investigation was performed to evaluate the engineering properties of hot-mix, cold-laid (HMCL) asphalt concrete patching mixtures. The performance characteristics of patching materials was...
