When repairing defective flexible pavement, you should place and compact the base course
materials in
Definition

pavement should you make your marks?
Definition

What item is used to force sealing material into the cracks in flexible pavements
Definition
Squeegee.
Term
Large cracks in pavement is repaired the same way as
Definition
potholes.
Term
Small and medium cracks in flexible pavement can be sealed individually with a
Definition
prepared joint sealer.
Term
Which of the following types of sealer can be used satisfactorily with most types of asphalt
pavements?
Definition
SS-S–1401.
Term
During an inspection of flexible pavements, you should try to determine
