About the research
Research objective: The objective of this project is to identify the failure mechanisms occurring in the joints of concrete pavements in various northern states, and to develop strategies to prevent the deterioration of new pavements in the future. This will allow the ability to provide guidance on what to do about repairing and/or slowing the distress in existing pavements.
