The longitudinal cracks can be developed on concrete pavements due to several reasons. Some of these reasons are:

  • late or shallow saw cutting of longitudinal saw cut joints
  • inadequate base support under the concrete slab
  • high level of built-in warping and curling
  • the use of aggregates with a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).
