Assessment of Asphalt Durability Tests: Part 2, Comparison of Wheel Tracking Tests Using European Standards

The introduction of European standards has changed how deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures is being measured. The new standard allows a small or large device to be used depending on the maximum axle load being designed. Studies have been conducted to compare results using the old method and the new. It was found the old method did not have the ability to deal with mixtures having limited deformation resistance. Results compared the relationships between the parameters, the method of compaction and provided an indication of the tests precision.
