What is another term for bleeding in pavement terminology?

In pavement terminology, bleeding refers to a condition where a layer of asphalt becomes too fluid, causing it to rise to the surface, which can lead to a glossy, wet appearance on the pavement. The term "flushing" is synonymous with this phenomenon. It describes the outward migration of asphalt binder to the surface of the pavement, often resulting from excessive heat or traffic loads. This condition can adversely affect the skid resistance of the pavement and may require remedial actions to manage it.

The other terms provided do not relate to this specific condition in the context of asphalt. "Cutting" generally refers to the process of removing or reducing the thickness of asphalt layers. "Loading" pertains to the application of weight or traffic to a pavement surface. "Slurping" is not a recognized term in asphalt or pavement terminology. Thus, the use of "flushing" is the most accurate description of the phenomenon known as bleeding in asphalt pavement.
