INTERLAYER SHEAR PERFORMANCE: EXPERIENCE WITH DIFFERENT PAVEMENT STRUCTURES

Maintenance strategies are often based on surface characteristics and distress phenomena without determining the interlayer adhesion properties on a regular basis. This is remarkable as the adhesion between different layers is a very important factor for the performance and the service life of pavements. In this paper recent Swiss experience with this important property is discussed and demonstrated. The paper focuses on interlayer properties between the different asphalt concrete pavement courses and the influence of water on the adhesion. A second aspect concentrates on old concrete pavements rehabilitated with asphalt and an intermediate layer consisting of a wire mesh, a glass or polymer fiber geotextile or a bituminous treatment. In addition the adhesion performance of some Swiss motorway sections is discussed. For the covering abstract see ITRD E121480.
