Abstract:Traditionally run at one test temperature (122°F), the
Hamburg wheel tracking test (HWTT) (Figure 1) has a
proven history of successfully identifying and screening
hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes that are prone to rutting
and/or susceptible to moisture damage (stripping).
However, with the record summer temperatures of
recent years, several premature shear and rutting
failures have occurred in the field with HMA mixes that
had passed the HWTT in the laboratory. Most of these
field failures occurred in high-shear-stress
environments, particularly in areas having:
Slow-moving (accelerating/decelerating) traffic at
controlled intersections.
Stop-go traffic.
Elevated temperatures.
Heavy/high traffic loading.
Lower-performance asphalt-binder grades.
