FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS. PART 1: IMPORTANT NEW DIRECTIONS IN DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE. PART 2: COMPACTION OF BITUMINOUS MATERIALS

PART 1: REVIEWS NEW TRENDS ON THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS AS LAID OUT IN THE REVISED EDITION OF ROAD NOTE 29 AND THE MARSHALL COMMITTEE REPORT ON HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE; DESCRIBES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DEFLECTOGRAPH AND SCRIM; AND, DISCUSSES THE STRENGTHENING OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS WITH OVERLAYS AND THE PROVISION OF WEARING COURSES RESISTANT TO SKIDDING. PART 2 OUTLINES THE FACTORS INFLUENCING COMPACTION, INCLUDING MIX- DESIGN, TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THE MATERIAL IS COMPACTED, SUB- BASE RIGIDITY, THICKNESS OF LIFT, AND ROLLING PROCEDURES.
