ON THE CONTENT OF WEAR TERMS

THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INVOLVED IN WEAR PROFILES AND TERMS ARE EXAMINED, ALONG WITH THEIR EFFECT AND SIGNIFICANCE IN DIFFERENT INSTANCES AND CONDITIONS. THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE FORMATION OF THE INITIAL PROFILE LINE ARE EXAMINED. THE EFFECT OF THE SUBGRADE ON THE COMPACTION OF A PAVEMENT, THE SETTLING OF THE SUBGRADE AND THE DEFORMATIONS CAUSED BY FROST, ALL AFFECT WEAR PROFILES. THE ARTICLE POINTS OUT THAT THE ACTUAL CONTENT OF WEAR TERMS, THE WEARING PROCESS IS NOT WELL DEFINED BECAUSE WEARING OCCURS IN DIFFERENT PLACES IN A ROAD IN BOTH TRANSVERSE AND LONGITUDINAL DIRECTIONS AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THE USE OF WEAR TERMS IN VARIOUS CONTEXTS IS DISCUSSED.
