Other materials, specify
a. Which one performs better from the above list, describe The Department only uses asphalt pavement to create this pressure relief joint between the concrete pavement and the concrete approach slab for the bridge. b. How long does an original installation (of whatever method used) typically last
before repair/rehab due to deterioration of the filler material? A majority of these pressure relief joints are replaced on the same cycle as the rehabilitation of the adjacent roadway pavement which ranges between 12 to 17 years. The State Maintenance Forces will grind off the high spots if a bump appears. Since the late 80's, if possible, we rehabilitate both the roadway pavement and bridge structure under the same project. years
c. For asphalt pavement material filler, does your specification require compaction in
the terminal joints area? Yes, describe type of specific equipment to achieve compaction Only require the
Contractor to achieve the appropriate density and not what type of equipment to be used.
No Other, specify
4. Did you try other methods of terminal joints?
Yes, describe briefly the type and results No
5. Comments: We originally constructed these relief joints only 1 to 2 foot wide. As these pavements were resurfaced, starting in the 1980's, we widened these joints to 10 feet to reduce the height of the bumps experianced and achieve better compaction of the asphalt pavement used to construct them. Today, we now have two smaller bumps (one at each interface with the concrete pavement) shorter in height instead of one much higher bump oberserved. The sleeper slab shown in your diagram above was not incorporated into the Department's original design of these joints. We've only constructed them (sleeper slab) at the termini of Continously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRC).

Approach terminal joint filler indicated in the area above? Please check by clicking the box(es) below
Settlement problem Bump problem Erosion problem Deterioration problem Other, please specify
2. How wide is you terminal joint?
Please click and type in the grey box below 18 inches for the Asphalt joint 3 inches for the preformed joint inch(es)
Page 2
3. What kind of material(s) is placed in the terminal joint?
Type of Filler Material Interstate US-Highways State Route Asphalt pavement materials
Preformed joint seals
Other materials, specify
a. Which one performs better from the above list, describe Preformed b. How long does an original installation (of whatever method used) typically last
before repair/rehab due to deterioration of the filler material? 2 years for the asphalt growth joint and 12 years for the preformed years
c. For asphalt pavement material filler, does your specification require compaction in
the terminal joints area? Yes, describe type of specific equipment to achieve compaction We do not
specify specific equipment - just end product and engineers approval. No Other, specify
4. Did you try other methods of terminal joints?
Yes, describe briefly the type and results No
5. Comments: SDDOT prefers to install the preformed compression seals over the polymer modified asphalt growth joint due to the maintenance problems associated with the asphalt growth joint. The compression seal joint has issues but they are mainly installation problems.
