FACTORS INFLUENCING THE BEARING CAPACITY

This paper describes a brief state of the art of "factors influencing the bearing capacity." Factors dealt with here are traffic loads, subgrade soils, climatic conditions, pavement component materials and road geometry. Fundamental and well-established concepts of these factors are mainly described and individual studies are seldom referred to since the space is limited. Factors influencing the deflection measurement and theoretical analysis are also described briefly. Finally, as a topic, the development of high viscosity asphalt is introduced. The most urgent problem in Japan has been to prevent the surfacing from plastic flow caused by high temperature and heavy load traffic. So far the use of high viscosity asphalt has been almost successful. (Author/TRRL)
