Title: FIELD AND LABORATORY TESTING OF RUTTING IN ASPHALT PAVEMENTS IN POLAND
Abstract: Rutting is a serious problem on many Polish roads. The paper presents field and laboratory testing of rutting on main roads carrying very heavy traffic. The field study included selection of testing sections, measurement of rut depth, testing of bearing capacity with FWD, coring pavements and cutting trenches across a heavily trafficked right traffic lane. The laboratory testing included determination of volumetric and weight proportion of cored asphalt mixes, testing of static creep, dynamic creep under repeated loading and wheel tracking test. The rutting which occurred in each layer of pavement structure was measured. The analysis of results enabled to determine the magnitude of rutting in relation to properties of asphalt mixes and correlation between laboratory measured properties of mixes and field rutting. The potential of laboratory methods to evaluate asphalt mix resistance to rutting was evaluated. For the covering abstract see ITRD E107185.
