Abstract
A method, structure, and composition for repairing wide and/or deep cracks, joints, and other gaps in pavement surfaces using one or a series of layers of a compressible aggregate of uniform size, with each layer of the compressible aggregate having a binder applied thereto which flows downwardly into and binds all or an upper portion of the compressible aggregate.
Claims23
A method of filling a gap in a pavement surface comprising steps of:
- a) forming a layer of a compressible aggregate in the gap in the pavement surface, the layer of the compressible aggregate being a layer of compressible fragments of uniform size wherein the compressible fragments will pass a screen mesh having 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch square openings but will not pass an 8 mesh screen and
- b) applying a binder on a top of the layer of the compressible aggregate which flows downwardly into voids in the layer of the compressible aggregate.
A method of filling a gap in a pavement surface comprising:
- sequentially constructing in the gap in the pavement surface a series of bound aggregate layers;
- each of the bound aggregate layers being constructed of a layer of a compressible aggregate and a binder which is applied on top of the layer of the compressible aggregate and flows downwardly into voids in the layer of the compressible aggregate and binds the layer of the compressible aggregate;
- and
- the layer of the compressible aggregate of each of the bound aggregate layers being a layer of compressible fragments of uniform size wherein the compressible fragments will pass a screen mesh having 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch square openings but will not pass an 8 mesh screen.
