AASHTO R 36-17 PDF Download

The AASHTO R 36-17 standard provides a guideline for assessing faulting in jointed concrete pavement surfaces. Faulting is defined as the variation in height between transverse joints or cracks in the pavement.

This standard outlines a specific protocol for evaluating faulting, which involves measuring the height difference across the joints or cracks. The protocol ensures accurate and consistent measurements by specifying the equipment and methods to be used.

By following the guidelines outlined in AASHTO R 36-17, engineers and technicians can effectively evaluate and monitor faulting in concrete pavements. This information is crucial for assessing the structural integrity of the pavement and determining the need for maintenance or rehabilitation measures.
