Rutting resistance of waterproofing – asphalt pavement systems on bridges

Abstract

Rutting resistance of waterproofing-asphalt pavement systems on bridges Application of traditional waterproofing systems with thin asphalt courses results in occurrence of plastic deformities on traffic areas of bridges, especially in the form of rutting. The investigations comprised the analysis of the existing systems in exploitation, laboratory testing and on site measurements of relevant properties of individual system elements, as well as the system as whole, which have an impact to the resistance to rutting. The achieved results were controlled and confirmed on the waterproofing-asphalt courses system executed during construction of the Odra viaduct on the A11 motorway.

Statistical modelling of rutting for low-volume roads in India

“…In addition to causing problems concerning, e.g., speed and comfort, it can also ultimately lead to the failure of such roads. Rukavina T. et al (2013) [11] studied traditional waterproofing solutions for narrow asphalt channels causing rutting in bridge traffic areas. The investigations included an analysis of existing systems in use, laboratory testing, and on-site measurements of the relevant system parameters affecting the rutting resistance.…”
