    Longitudinal cracks run parallel to traffic flow and are caused by fatigue, unstable bases, and poor construction. Transverse cracks run perpendicular to the centerline and are caused by temperature drops that cause shrinking and reflective cracks from underneath. Crocodile cracks are interconnected cracks that form cells up to 300mm due to subbase failure, poor drainage, and overloading. Block cracks divide pavement into rectangular pieces from 0.1-9m2 due to shrinkage and temperature cycling causing insufficient expansion and contraction of the asphalt binder.

    The passage describes different types of cracks, defects, and distresses that can occur in asphalt pavement along with their typical causes and examples.

    The passage describes longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, crocodile cracks, and block cracks as different types of cracks that can occur in asphalt pavement.

    The passage states that hot mix asphalt shrinkage and temperature cycling are major causes of block cracking, and that the asphalt binder being unable to expand and contract due to aging or poor mix design can also cause block cracking.
