BITUMINOUS ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN WINTER (IN GERMAN)

INVESTIGATIONS WERE CARRIED OUT TO ESTABLISH THE EFFECT OF UNFAVORABLE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THE PRODUCTION, TRANSPORT PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURES. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT BITUMINOUS SURFACES SHOULD NOT, IN GENERAL, BE LAID IN WINTER, OR ONLY WHEN SPECIAL TECHNICAL MEASURES ARE TAKEN TO PREVENT THE COOLING OF THE BITUMINOUS MIXTURE AS FAR AS POSSIBLE DURING TRANSPORT, PLACEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION, AND TO COMPACT THE MATERIAL AS WELL AND AS CAREFULLY AS POSSIBLE DURING THE TIME AVAILABLE FOR COOLING- COOLING BEING MORE RAPID WITH LOW AIR AND SOIL TEMPERATURES THAN DURING PLACEMENT IN THE WARMER PART OF THE YEAR-SO THAT A DURABLE SMOOTH SURFACE IS ENSURED. /FG/RRL/
