“…The results of comprehensive direct and indirect analysis evaluation are as follows: the results of the APA rutting test are close to the actual results of the full-scale test track, the APA rutting test is the preferred testing method for evaluating the rutting performance of semi-rigid base asphalt pavements, followed by the French rutting test and the standard rutting test (Sel et al, 2014).…”

Through a simple performance dynamic modulus test (SPT), standard rutting test, Hamburg rutting test, French rutting test and asphalt pavement analyzer rutting test, the rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures in the middle and lower courses of three semi-rigid base asphalt pavement of Beijing full-scale test track road in China was evaluated. The test results show that the rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures of the middle and lower courses can be greatly improved by using low-grade asphalt, especially 30# asphalt. The rutting resistance of SBS modified asphalt mixtures is also better. The SPT dynamic modulus test can indirectly characterize the rutting performance of the asphalt mixture. The rutting test results of a laser road detection vehicle and 3 m ruler show that the asphalt grade has a significant impact on the rutting performance of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement. Compared with 70# asphalt used in the middle and lower courses, the rutting resistance of the pavement structure can be improved by more than 20%. The result also show that the APA rutting test results can closely characterize the full-scale test track results, which is an optimal test method for evaluating the rutting performance of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement. The research results can provide a theoretical basis and reference for the rational design and rutting evaluation of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement.

“…In that study, the researchers extracted HWTT results from a TxDOT asphalt mixture performance database that contained rut depth values and the number of passes for different projects tested at two temperatures (40°C and 50°C). The mixtures with binders with higher PGs exhibited less deformation than those with lower PGs, which clearly indicated the significant impact of test temperature and binder type on performance in the HWTT (7). In a different study, Mendez-Larrain et al also studied the effects of test temperature; however, they also considered the effects of mixture gradation and specimen air voids content (9).…”

This paper investigates the applicability of the Hamburg wheel-tracking test (HWTT) for asphalt mixture quality acceptance using laboratory-compacted specimens and field-compacted specimens. Density distribution functions for rut depths, stripping inflection points, and rutting resistance index (RRI) values used in the HWTT were obtained for mixtures with different nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) values and binder performance grades. Clear distinctions among the rut depth distributions for the high-temperature performance grade mixtures were observed in the laboratory-compacted specimens. The RRI values for both the laboratory and field-compacted specimens increased with an increase in the binder performance grade. In addition, the RRI values showed clear differences for different binder grades among the mixtures with the same NMAS. The range of the RRI distributions for the laboratory-compacted specimens was narrower than that of the field-compacted specimens. The stripping inflection points of the field-compacted specimens increased as the binder grade was increased, indicating better moisture damage resistance for stiffer mixtures. HWTT results were significantly influenced by the air voids content of specimens. The relationship between air voids content and RRI can be used for understanding the critical effect of in-place density in pavement performance. The laboratory-compacted and field-compacted specimens offer advantages and disadvantages. The laboratory-compacted specimens were much easier to fabricate to standard dimensions, and the field-compacted specimens present inherent variability in relation to air voids content, diameter, and thickness.

“…Rutting prediction of semirigid pavements is calibrated, and compared to the void contents of HMA mixtures, the traffic loads and thickness of HMA are more sensitive to the rutting depth [29]. According to several research results, different temperature distribution in the pavement structure has been investigated [30][31][32][33][34], which indicates that different test conditions should be conducted for different depth of AC layers, and the test condition should be determined by the field weather condition.…”

Rutting is a major distress occurring in the service life of the asphalt pavement, especially in hot weather areas. A laboratory-produced specimen is widely used for rutting performance evaluation which may not be completely represented by the field situation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the rutting performance of field specimens from the Chongqing highway by utilizing the Hamburg wheel-tracking test (HWTT) and dynamic modulus test. Different test conditions were conducted on the HWTT by investigation of the actual local weather condition. The results showed that rutting depth was different under different test conditions, and 10000 loading cycles were recommended as the maximum loading cycles. Particularly, several factors that influence the rutting depth were investigated, and the specimen height of 6 cm is more appropriate for the HWTT. Additionally, different test conditions were proposed as the HWTT test condition for different asphalt concrete (AC) layers in the Chongqing area. Rutting contribution of each AC layer to the pavement structure was analyzed. Moreover, the dynamic modulus at 54.4°C, 5 Hz and 54.4°C, 1 Hz could effectively represent the rutting performance of the asphalt mixture, and the dynamic modulus test is recommended for the rutting performance evaluation of the full-thickness AC layer.
