Research of Rut depth in asphalt pavements reinforced with geosynthetic materials

Abstract

Rutting of asphalt pavements is a relevant problem the solution of which has been searched for by the specialists of various fields. This article describes causes of rut initiation and development due to shear strains and presents a theoretical model of the effect of geosynthetic materials on the functioning of asphalt pavements. The article also describes the experimental road section and measurements of the rut depth from the day of the section’s construction until now.
