This set of photos presents break & seat and asphalt overlay performed with a guillotine-style T8600 Badger Breaker®. Note the range of fracture energy employed and the resulting range of surface spalling. The fracture energy is determined by the engineer-in-charge on a project-by-project basis. This fractured slab technique has recently been applied most often by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
