LABORATORY TESTING FOR USE IN THE PREDICTION OF RUTTING IN ASPHALT PAVEMENTS

Increasing interest in methods for the quantitative prediction of rutting in asphalt pavements requires that particular attention be given to relevant laboratory materials testing. The major tools for such testing are the repeated load triaxial test and the creep test. This paper discusses experimental aspects of the repeated load triaxial test in some detail. Particular attention is given to stress application systems and the measurement of load and deformation. Where appropriate, the particular requirements of different materials are considered. In addition to the test techniques described in the literature, several novel features of recent research at the University of Nottingham are described.
