METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE WATERPROOFNESS AND FROST RESISTANCE OF ASPHALT CONCRETE

Аннотация

Asphalt concrete is the most common material for the construction of road surfaces. However, under the influence of increasing transport loads and environmental factors, the service life of asphalt concrete coatings is not high enough. In this regard, the main purpose of designing asphalt concrete compositions is to create an optimal structure with predetermined properties that would ensure the required characteristics and durability of the road surface being arranged. Due to the insufficient deformability and frost resistance of asphalt concrete at low temperatures, the actual service life of coatings is often lower than the standard ones. To increase the service life of such coatings, it is necessary to develop comprehensive technical methods.
