and cracked asphalt pavement prior to an overlay using the primary system herein however due to the ever changing problems created by sub standard sub base soil conditions this method and material is not recommended for asphalt pavement that possesses and retains structural u201c pumping u201d conditions caused by expansive soils and clays found in a large part throughout the southeastern united states as such this asphalt pre repair method and material addresses severe u201c alligator u201d cracking only on a relatively stable pavement base where water intrusion hydrocarbons uv degradation and basic lack of maintenance has caused the asphalt pavement to create semi stable u201c islands u201d with a minimum size of 3 u2033 to 5 u2033 in diameter contained within medium to large areas of heavy vehicular traffic these u201c islands u201d are separated from each other by cracks around the entire perimeter of the u201c island u201d ranging in width from u00bc u2033 to u00be u2033 and have been found to be as deep as 1 u2033 up to 4 u2033 deep the following method and material has been developed and tested in the field and is currently being installed on commercial heavy industrial vehicular pavement areas prior to the application of the primary endurablend pmco u2122 polymer composite micro overlay system when.
