Asphalt

Three tests on pavement structures with gradually increasing strength.
SE01 = thin AC-layer on unbound base.
SE02 = SE01 + unbound sub base.
SE06 = SE02 + bit.bound base.

•  Learn more about HVS-testing (SE01 was the first test in Sweden).

•  References to coming tests.

•  Effect of increasing strength (structural design)

•  Effect of moisture content

•  Pavement response studies

•  Etc.

•  A good relationship was found between surface deflection(FWD) and rut depth propagation

•  Large effect of wet condition in subgrade

•  Minor effect of increasing wheel load (SE01)
