ROLLED GUSSASPHALT FOR THE REPAIR OF SURFACE RUTS

GEWALZTER GUSSASPHALT BEI DER BESEITIGUNG VON SPURRINNEN

Since 1972 rolled gussasphalt has been used for the repair of surfacings with ruts. All these surfacings had a good skidding resistance from the beginning and possess a very rough surface texture. This roughness may be reduced by the use of chippings 2/5 as gritting material. It is not possible to say how far the skidding resistance of the surfacing is thus influenced. For the first time in the summer of 1975 a section of gritting material was rolled with a smooth wheel roller only. It was quite easy to see that a small quantity was rolled in. The surface of the surfacing layer is as rough as is the case with the introduction of a combination of rollers. The authors believe that the technique described here is a contribution to the repair of surface deformations, and are of the opinion that this method will find general application in the laying of surfacing layers of qussasphalt. /TRRL/
