Study on High Modulus Asphalt Mixtures

Abstract

In this article will be presented a comparison of a road structure dimensioning between a classical approach, which uses the information existing in the sizing norm in force, and a non-classical approach that uses performances of asphalt mixtures with high rigidity modulus, determined in the laboratory, by specific tests to determine the modules, which will be used in the dimensioning calculation.
