| 摘要： | The construction of long-lasting hot mix asphalt pavements has been practiced for a number of decades in the United States. Full-depth (asphalt courses used for all layers above subgrade) and deep-strength (asphalt surface and asphalt base over a minimal aggregate base above subgrade) pavements were originally designed for 20-year life expectancies. One of the primary advantages to these designs was that the total pavement sections were thinner when compared to conventional designs of asphalt over thick aggregate bases. As these full-depth and deep-strength pavements performed beyond their design lives, the vast majority only required surface restoration such as a thin overlay or mill and overlay. This practice of replacing only the surface offers a number of rehabilitation advantages in terms of speed of construction (user delay costs) and construction costs. The challenge for today is to obtain a longer surface life on a long-lasting asphalt support structure. Recent efforts in materials selection, mixture design, performance testing, and pavement design offer a methodology which may be employed to obtain very long-term performance from asphalt pavement structures (greater than 50 years) while periodically (approximately every 20 years) replacing the surface (top 25 to 100 mm) of the pavement. This concept has been proposed for use in Europe and it is rapidly gaining acceptance in the United States. The common theme in these approaches is to combine a rut resistant, impermeable, and wear resistant top structural layer with a rut resistant and durable intermediate layer and a fatigue resistant and durable base layer. |
