The article is focused on the description of a road pavement design procedure and introduces a specific method of considering the repeatability and reproducibility of the fatigue resistance test. An example is taken from the Czech Road Pavement Design Methodology pursuant to TP 170 (2004, Navrhování Vozovek Pozemních Komunikací, Ministry of Transport, Czech Republic, available from: http://www.pjpk.cz/TP%20170.pdf). The article draws on foreign experience in the consideration of fatigue resistance in France and the USA, and the objective of the designed methodology is to bring the results of laboratory tests closer to a specific road pavement design allowing a better distinction in the quality of bitumen mixtures used in the design of road pavements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
