Types of Asphault Failure

Shoving / Corrugation

These types of failures present bumps or corrugations where the surface asphalt has been "shoved" or bunched up. This is most often the result of extreme horizontal stress caused where heavy traffic loads typically stop or start.

The most common repair for these areas is to perform full-depth repair. This exposes the base, allowing for any base weaknesses to be repaired.
