Asphaltic Plug Joint is an expansion joint that is used for new and rehabilitated bridges. It provides a smooth and watertight surface free of debris; and offers simple, easy and staged construction. Asphaltic plug joint can be repaired segmentally and it is cheaper than most other expansion joint types. The durability and performance of asphaltic plug joints depend greatly on the temperature variations. In high temperatures APJs are susceptible to rutting, heaving, and delamination. In low temperatures, asphaltic plug joint area may develop spalling, pot holes, debonding and exposure of metal plate. Recently, over 25% of NDOT District III bridges have experimented failure of their newly constructed asphaltic plug joints. This premature failure has been observed to be predominantly in bridges having high movement decks (over 2 inches). While designed for 5 to 8 years of service, those deck joints need significant maintenance within six months of service. In an attempt to address the problems encountered with the NDOT bridge deck asphaltic plug joints, this investigation intended to: (1) assess the condition and the extent of the problems associated with the asphaltic plug joints placed in the three NDOT districts; (2) compile available published and unpublished information, and to conduct a national survey to all departments of transportation; and (3) analyze the compiled relevant information and data, and to offer recommendations regarding quantifiable design parameters which can be used for proper construction of asphaltic plug joints. Properly selected materials, sound designs, viable construction methods, and maintenance strategies can lead to attaining improved bridge deck systems that can meet a set of performance criteria, as well as result in cost saving. The information presented in this report should assist NDOT in dealing with premature failure of asphaltic plug joints.

The asphaltic plug joints (APJs) are a type of bridge expansion joint that have been promoted as simple general purpose expansion devices for bridges with less than 50 mm (2 in.) total motion. APJs have been developed by trial and error and used when little engineering research existed outlining their complex behavior. To help designers to better understand this behavior and be able to properly apply them, the University of Wyoming has developed engineering-based design guidelines and material specifications. With the material relaxing by viscous flow at about the same rate as the bridge places motion demands on the joint, minimal loads and stresses are created. With these small loads almost no limit on the allowable motion exists from a structural perspective.

Advances in Functional Pavements is a collection of papers presented at the 7th Chinese-European Workshop (CEW) on Functional Pavement (Birmingham, UK, 2-4 July 2023). The focus of the CEW series is on field tests, laboratory test methods and advanced analysis techniques, and covers analysis, material development and production, experimental characterization, design and construction of pavements. The main areas covered by the book include: Green pavements for circular and low-carbon economy Intelligent pavements for future and smart cities Durable pavements for long-life infrastructures Safe pavements for user-friendly build environments Advances in Functional Pavements aims at contributing to the establishment of a new generation of pavement design methodologies in which rational mechanics principles, advanced constitutive models and advanced material characterization techniques shall constitute the backbone of the design process. The book will be much of interest to professionals, academics and practitioners in pavement engineering and related disciplines as it should assist them in providing improved road pavement infrastructure to their stakeholders. .
