FULL-DEPTH CONSTRUCTION METHOD - THE NEW METHOD BUILDING FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS
FULL-DEPTH-BAUWEISE - DIE NEUE BAUMETHODE IM ASPHALTSTRASSENBAU
The author explains the importance of correct pavement design. He gives details of the conventional design in accordance with the three-layer system and calculates soil pressure stresses for conventional road pavements. Problems involved in the construction of forst blankets are also described. Possible replacement of the conventional forst blanket by an asphalt pavement are discussed in detail. In this case theoretical design is simpler as it can be carried out in accordance with the two-layer system. This thickness of the asphalt pavement is selected in such a way that the soil pressure stresses reach, at a maximum, the values which occur during the incorporation of a normal forst blanket. Experiments with full-depth asphalt pavements and specifications for their construction in various countries are discussed. The article concludes with an explanation of the advantages of the full-depth asphalt method from an economic and heat engineering point of view.
