Abstract:

This master's thesis deals with the possibility of special asphalt-rubber mixture using - Stress Absorbing Layer (SAL). In the theoretical part the SAL and test methods are described. In the practical part, several different mixtures are designed and selected mixtures were tested. Low-temperature characteristics, permanent deformations, bending tensile relaxation, stiffness modulus and fatigue properties were determined. Based on the test results the mixtures were compared and their benefit is evaluated according to Performance Pavement Design Method, the pavement structure was evaluated by using of computer programme LayEps.

Keywords:

Asphalt mixture, SAL, CRmB, Marshall test, low-temperature characteristics, permanent deformation, bending tensile test, Relaxation, stiffness modulus, fatigue, pavement structure evaluation.
