Abstract:

Oregon highways are experiencing significant wear damage in the wheel paths on both bituminous and concrete pavements. The main cause of this damage is from studded tires which creates the problem of wear rutting on road surfacing in the wheel path areas. In a field study of Oregon roads, sites which had a potential for damage by studded tires were selected and rut measurements were taken. This, together with traffic volume data, showed the extent of the damage in different parts of the state. The field study found that the wear rate (i.e. wear/year) is greater in high traffic volume roads. Furthermore, on multi-lane highways, the rut depth is normally greater in the fast traffic rather than the slow lanes.
