Appendix C 3 Single/single SAM Reseal

A rural road is to be resealed. The traffic loading is increasing over time, and the pavement is cracked extensively. There is no loss of shape, and the crack activity would be rated as low, with cracks generally only about 2 to 3 mm in width. As the sub-grade is considered moisture sensitive, it has been decided to apply a SAM to minimise reflection cracking.
