Thermal energy from the sun causes roads to expand and contract, leading to stress on the road surface. This stress, combined with regular wear and tear from vehicles, can eventually cause cracks to form in roads.
mechanical energy
cars driving on the roads, weathering,car accidents, crazy builders with hammers, tempreature change causing cracks
heat which can cause base materials with higher clay contents (e.g. some gravel) to dry in summer and crack
Thermal energy from temperature changes can cause cracks in roads. As the temperature fluctuates, the road expands and contracts, leading to stress on the road surface that can result in cracks forming over time.
Pot holes
Where cracks form in the asphalt/concrete, repair crews fill the cracks with tar to keep water from seeping in and widening the cracks into pot holes.
The appearance of cracks in porcelain is known as crazing. This is when the glaze of the porcelain or ceramic cracks, which does not change the integrity of the item.
The common causes of Road cracks are overloading, seepage, improper or poor road surface drainage, lack of proper road maintenance, lack of proper design, adverse climatic conditions and some other factors.
Freezing and thawing cycles occur when water seeps into cracks in roads or rocks, freezes, expands, and then melts, causing the material to crack and break apart. This process weakens the structure over time, eventually leading to the formation of potholes in roads and breaks in rocks. Regular maintenance is needed to prevent or repair these damages.
In the winter the roads crack because the cold causes the concrete to contract, therefore making cracks and potholes in the road. This will not happen in the summer because the heat makes the concrete expand.
