AASHTO R 36-21 PDF Download

AASHTO R 36-21 provides a comprehensive guideline for assessing faulting in jointed concrete pavement surfaces. Faulting is defined as the variation in elevation across a transverse joint or crack in the pavement. The standard outlines a systematic approach to measure and evaluate faulting, which is a critical parameter in assessing the condition and performance of concrete pavements.

The protocol described in AASHTO R 36-21 includes specific steps and procedures to follow in order to accurately measure faulting. It provides guidance on selecting the appropriate measurement tools and equipment, as well as the recommended locations for conducting faulting measurements. The standard also offers guidelines on how to interpret and analyze the collected data to determine the severity and extent of faulting in the pavement.
