Block Cracking

Block Cracking is a type of pavement distress characterized by interconnected cracks forming a polygonal pattern, primarily caused by shrinkage of the asphalt layer due to thermal cycling, distinguishing it from other cracking mechanisms by its block-like geometry and absence of direct traffic loading influence.
