Mechanistic service life prediction of rigid pavement joint sealant: a new laboratory testing technique
A new method to evaluate the performance of sealants used in rigid pavement joints was developed. A special fixture, attached to a servo-hydraulic testing machine, was designed to transfer applied cyclic shear deflection to a sealant sandwiched between two 51 x 51 x 51 mm portland cement concrete …

Tensile Testing of Cold-Applied Joint Sealants
… in concrete pavement systems are the concrete joints. They are man-made cracks that allow for temperature-related expansion and contraction of concrete slabs. Sealants are commonly used in pavement joints to keep debris, deicing chemicals, and moisture out of the joint. When a joint sealant …

Performance-Based Evaluation of Joint Sealants for Concrete Pavements
Pavement concrete joints are the weakest locations in concrete pavement systems. They are man-made cracks to accommodate concrete slab expansion and contraction due to temperature fluctuations. Sealant is usually used in pavement joints to prevent roadway debris, deicing chemicals, and moisture …

Long-Term Performance of Polymeric Materials in Civil Infrastructure
… 2) silicone and self-healing polymeric concrete sealants. HDPE is a strong and durable plastic material that is commonly used to store a wide range of liquids ASTs. Currently, there are no established protocols for carrying out non-destructive testing (NDT) and assessment of HDPE ASTs for regular …
