Parking Lots

Article: Maintenance and Repair of Asphalt Parking Lots
. . . Article Synopsis: All pavements require maintenance because stresses – such as traffic loads, temperature fluctuations, and changes in moisture content – are constantly at work. Regardless of the cause, the result is inevitably the same . . . without timely maintenance, the pavement ultimately deteriorates.
. . . Because parking lots are usually provided as adjuncts to primary facilities – such as shopping centers, office buildings and bus stations – the importance of their being properly designed and constructed from the outset is sometimes minimized; and a frequently overlooked fact is that often they have to bear traffic loadings equivalent to those on arterial streets.
. . . It’s easy to determine when a parking lot is in need of repair. But, without experience in pavement maintenance, it’s sometimes difficult to decide just what should be done.
