EFFECTS OF TRAFFIC PRIOR TO COOLING ON RUT DEVELOPMENT IN ASPHALT MIXES

The practice of prematurely allowing traffic on hot mix surfaces after construction has been suspected of initiating and accelerating pavement rutting. This laboratory study examines the rutting of a variety of Ontario mix types in conditions similar to that where elevated mix temperatures make the pavement most prone to traffic compaction and rutting. Samples were tested at various initial temperatures representing different temperatures for the opening of pavements to traffic using a wheel tracking machine in the laboratory.
