Practice question
How should a transverse (header) joint in HMA generally be prepared before the next paving pull?
- Leave the feathered overnight edge in place and pave over it without cutting
- Cut back to a full-depth, near-vertical face, tack the face, and match grade before rolling across the joint
- Flood the joint with water so the new mix will cool faster
- Place a paper bond-breaker so the new mat never touches the old mat
Answer: B — Cut back to a full-depth, near-vertical face, tack the face, and match grade before rolling across the joint
