PAVEMENT LAYERS OF ASPHALT CONCRETE OR MASTIC ASPHALT?

DECKSCHICHTEN AUS ASPHALTBETON ODER GUSSASPHALT?

The characteristics of asphaltic concrete and mastic asphalt are compared with a view to their performance in wearing courses of roads for medium and high traffic volumes. The study arrives at the conclusion that wearing courses of asphaltic concrete either suffice in resistance to deformation but lack the desirable flexibility or, if they are sufficiently flexible, show want of resistance to deformation. This is to the author's mind a dilemma unknown in the application of mastic asphalt.
