Asphalt Institute Engineering Resources
The Asphalt Institute's engineering page with public technical information on asphalt materials, mix design, and pavement construction. It is a recognized industry source for questions about binders, compaction, and patching materials. Some publications and courses are paid; the page itself is free to browse.
FHWA Manual: Sealing and Filling Cracks in Asphalt Pavements (FHWA-RD-99-147)
FHWA's research manual on materials and procedures for sealing and filling cracks in asphalt-surfaced pavements, from the SHRP pavement maintenance studies. It covers crack preparation, routing, material selection, and application configurations. Crack repair technicians and estimators can use it as the technical backbone for their crack sealing practice.
FHWA Pavement Preservation
FHWA's pavement preservation site explaining the preservation approach, treatment types, and when each is appropriate. Crack sealing, sealcoating, and thin overlays are preservation treatments, and this is the public source that describes them. Estimators and owners can use it to explain the value of preservation to customers.
