WINTER DAMAGE TO ROAD PAVEMENTS

THIS REPORT CONSIDERS THE WAYS IN WHICH WINTER DAMAGE TO ROAD PAVEMENTS COULD BE REDUCED MAINLY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF PAVEMENT DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE. DETAILS OF THE VARIOUS FACTORS INVOLVED, I.E. GRITTING MATERIALS, DE-ICING CHEMICALS, SNOW CLEARING MACHINES, STUDDED TIRES AND SNOW CHAINS ARE GIVEN. TYPES, CAUSES AND THE PROCESS OF DAMAGE TO BOTH BITUMINOUS AND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS (EXCLUDING THE EFFECT OF FREEZING-THAWING CYCLES) ARE DESCRIBED. MEASURING AND TEST METHODS USED TO DETERMINE PAVEMENT DAMAGE AND/OR WEAR BOTH IN THE LABORATORY AND ON ACTUAL ROADS ARE EXAMINED. /AUTHOR/
