| Title of the article | Modern methods of sealing expansion joints of cement concrete road pavements |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. Cement concrete pavements are used in a wide range of temperature and operational loads, which inevitably leads to a decrease in their transport and operational condition. To improve the operational reliability of cement concrete pavements of highways, it is necessary to develop recommendations for the correct purpose of sealing materials, taking into account the natural and climatic conditions of operation. In this regard, this paper will offer a review and analysis of world practices and recommendations for the selection of materials for sealing various climatic conditions and types of operation of cement concrete pavements of highways. Results: The article describes the features of sealing expansion joints of cement concrete pavements. Modern sealing materials are considered. The influence of climatic and operational conditions on the choice of sealing materials and the technology of sealing expansion joints is analyzed. New technologies are presented, including the use of nanomaterials and intelligent monitoring systems to increase the durability of sealing materials and the efficiency of sealing expansion joints. Conclusions: The results of the conducted research allow us to give recommendations on the selection of effective materials for sealing expansion joints, as well as to present further development of technology in this area, which will improve the transport and operational characteristics of cement concrete road pavements and reduce the costs of their repair and maintenance. |
