TESTING IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY

THE PAPER REPORTS TESTS DESIGNED TO FIND WAYS OF IMPROVING THE DURABILITY OF PAVEMENTS AS WELL AS TESTS FOR ASSESSING PAVEMENT WEAR. THE EXTENSIVE WORK TAKES INTO ACCOUNT MANY FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE PAVEMENT WEAR. THIS INCLUDES THE TYPE AND INTENSITY OF REQUIREMENTS AND DELETERIOUS EFFECTS, THE TYPE AND QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, LOCAL. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, MIX CONPOSITIONS, AND THE FABRICATION AND PLACING OF THE BITUMINOUS MATERIAL. GUIDELINES FOR LABORATORY TESTING ARE FORMULATED. RESEARCH IS UNDERWAY TO ASSESS THE SUITABILITY OF CURRENTLY USED TESTING TECHNIQUES. FOUR TESTING SYSTEMS WHICH APPEAR SUITABLE ARE BRIEFLY DESCRIBED. TEST SECTIONS IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY ARE REVIEWED.
