Structure of asphalt pavements with use of aggregate from glacier deposits

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate possibilities application of aggregates from glacier deposits to asphalt mixtures to be used for flexible pavement layers. Applicability of aggregate from glacier deposits was established on a basis of pavement structure analysis for traffic KR1 - KR6 category and test results of asphalt mixture stiffness modulus. Fatigue life of pavement structure in accordance to Polish guide for typical pavements was calculated together with structural design for “perpetual” pavement. Test results proved that aggregates from the glacier deposits could, indeed, be used for the structural layers in asphalt pavements.
