Abstract:Preliminary finding by the National Center for Asphalt Paving Technology (NCAT) indicate that the rutting at three sites in Oregon was caused by the following: densification of the surface lift due to low initial compaction, moisture damage and/or densification of the lower lifts due to low initial compaction, and plastic flow in the lower lifts due to excessive asphalt content. Preliminary recommendation by the NCAT for the design and construction of rut-resistant pavements are: modify mix design, adjust laboratory compactive effort as needed and additional compaction should be used rather than increasing the asphalt content.
