USE OF SULPHUR-BITUMEN MIXTURES IN PAVEMENT LAYERS

EMPLOI DES MELANGES BITUME-SOUFRE EN COUCHE DE CHAUSSEES-

TO DEFINE THE CHARACTERISTICS AND CONDITIONS OF USE OF A BINDER CONSISTING OF A BITUMEN-SULPHUR MIXTURE WITH A VIEW TO REDUCING BITUMEN CONSUMPTION OR TO INCREASING THE USE OF LOCAL MATERIALS NOT EASILY UTILIZABLE WITH CONVENTIONAL BITUMINOUS BINDERS. PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS HAVE SHOWN THE SPECIAL ASPECTS OF THE PROCESS AND ITS FEASIBILITY ON THE COMMERCIAL SCALE AS REGARDS WEARING COURSES. IN 1979 LABORATORY AND SITE STUDIES WILL DEAL WITH: (1) POSSIBILITIES OFFERED BY BITUMEN-SULPHUR MIXTURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GUSSASPHALT; (2) CONTINUATION OF GENERAL STUDIES, ESPECIALLY AGEING; (3) START OF A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE, GRAVEL-BITUMEN, MAINTENANCE OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURES AND ROLLED MATERIALS.
