摘要: |
Premature rutting has occurred on a number of recently built highways in Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Communications, in an effort to solve the problem, has initiated a number of studies and has started to replace the affected pavement. The aim of the present study was to identify possible factors that may relate to rutting and to recommend maintenance and repair criteria for existing rutted pavements. The study covers 19 sections of 11 major highways. Results indicate a direct relationship between rutting and the percentage of air voids, the percentage of voids in mineral aggregate, the percentage of voids filled with asphalt, the resilient modulus at 25 deg C, and asphalt viscosity. These properties were used as bases for determination of maintenance criteria as well as the criteria for mixes required to resist rutting on Saudi roads. |
