REDUCTION OF RUTTING UNDER HEAVY VEHICLE LOADS

Rut and fatigue cracks of asphalt-surfaced pavements are the result of load-related distress accelerated by material properties and environmental conditions. This study is assessing the effects of the asphalt mix properties and heavy loads, as well as further properties and heavy loads. In addition, a mechanistic program to determine the structural efficiency of existing pavements under heavy vehicle loads is being developed. Preliminary results have shown that both rut and fatigue potential can be minimized by using the proper aggregate in the asphalt mix.
