Title: Comparative performance tests on dense bitumen macadam
and heavy duty macadam
Publisher: Transport and Road Research Laboratory, 1990
Physical description: 20p. charts
Price: Unpriced
Series: Working Paper: WP/PE/63
Notes - general: Tests are described that compare the performance under
accelerated trafficking of two road base materials,
dense bitumen macadam and heavy duty macadam. The
construction, instrumentation, and means of testing
the pavements is described, and the measurements made
during the test are detailed. The relative
stiffnesses of the two materials was within the range
normally expected, but analysis of the results shows
little difference in overall performance of the early
life of the pavement, heavy duty macadam has a
superior performance to that of the conventional dense
bitumen macadam.
