Fatigue Cracking/Alligators/Crocodiles/Spider-Web Cracking

Sometimes called alligators/crocodiles (because the pattern resembles the reptile?s hide) or spider-web cracking, fatigue cracking is caused by continual traffic overload. This chicken-wire-like cracking pattern indicates a fundamental failure of the pavement construction (too thin or insufficient compaction) or materials, poor drainage, road base failure, or stripping on the bottom of the HMA layer.

In order to seal fatigue cracking (alligators/crocodiles or spider-web cracking), level the pavement surface, and prevent pavement from breaking loose and creating larger issues, apply a thin layer of GAP Mastic. GAP Mastic solves this particular pavement maintenance problem quickly and permanently.
