Surface analysis of a fissure in flexible pavement with infrared thermography

The various pathological manifestations that occur in the flexible pavement such as fissures, deformation, collapse, detachments, loss of the layers of the structure, cracking (fatigue), potholes and patches, etc., being those mentioned the best known to be detected with the naked eye; each of these deserves a dedicated study, with many reasons of why they manifest. This work focused on superficially analyzing a crack in flexible pavement with infrared thermography, performing a 7-hour monitor during the day, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The analyzed fissure belongs to the Itos street in the southern area of Cochabamba, in which 6 points were marked over the length of the fissure.
