Article presents results of assessment of performance of trial section of flexible pavement with cold recycled base constructed on low volume road within typical contract conditions. Performance evaluation was made based on Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) test performed during construction stage – 2 times on the top of cold recycled base course – 28 and 180 days after compaction of base course and 2 times on the top of the wearing...

High Modulus Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) was introduced in Poland as a one of the solutions to the problem of rutting, type of deterioration common in the 1990s. After first encouraging trials in 2002 HMAC was widely used for heavily loaded national roads and motorways. However some concerns were raised about low-temperature cracking of HMAC. This was the main reason of the studies presented in this article were started. The article...

Oversized heavy duty vehicles occur in traffic very rarely but they reach extremely high weights, even up to 800 tonne. The detrimental impact of these vehicles on pavement structure is much higher than in case of commercial vehicles that comprise typical traffic, thus it is necessary to assess the sensitivity of pavement structure to passage of oversized vehicles. The paper presents results of sample calculations of load equivalency factor...

Pomiary ugięć nawierzchni ugięciomierzem dynamicznym (FWD)pozwalają na obliczenie modułów sprężystości warstw asfaltowych, podbudowy i podłoża. Wyniki pomiarów są zwykle analizowane statystycznie na określonym poziomie ufności. Autorzy obliczyli, na analizowanym odcinku drogi, grubości wzmocnienia nawierzchni asfaltowej na różnych poziomach ufności.
