Sprickbildning har observerats på vissa delsträckor av E6 och E45 i Västra Götalands län, Sverige, trots liknande trafikförhållanden och beläggningskonstruktioner. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka möjliga materialrelaterade faktorer som bidrar till sprickbildning i asfaltbeläggningar. Historiska kvalitetskontrolldata, projektdokumentation och nya fältundersökningar användes för att jämförCracking has been observed on certain sections of the E6 and E45 highways in Västra Götaland County, Sweden, despite similar traffic conditions and pavement structures. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible material related factors contributing to asphalt pavement cracking. Historical quality control data, project documentation and new field investigations were used to compare crac
