Abstract
As age increases, the pavement will increase in condition. If there is no preventive preservation, damage will occur. Cracks on flexible pavement is a condition that occurs because of the uneven distribution of stresses due to the load on the pavement. Causes damage to weaker material, which then develops into other parts. To overcome cracks, several types of treatments that can be done are: Crack Treatment; Surface treatment; Crack Repair; Pavement Rehabilitation. One type of treatment that is often used in preservation of flexible pavement cracks is pulp seals. The slurry seal is a stable mixture of fast, fast emulsion asphalt, fine aggregates with fast gradations, fillers, and air. The advantage of slurry seal is that it is more cost effective, increases the age of reinforcement, and can be applied quickly. The application of slurry seal in flexible pavement preservation can increase pavement age by up to 8 years. Some types of slurry seals are also superior types of treatment that can overcome damage in various types.
