Asphalt concrete is the main type of coating the streets of the city of Bryansk and other cities of the Bryansk region, as well as roads outside settlements. A survey of the condition of asphalt concrete pavement of the streets of Bryansk and some parts of roads of other cities of the Bryansk region (streets of Surazh, Klintsy, Unecha, etc.) showed that in many areas there are surface destruction in the form of cracks: transverse, longitudinal and «grid». The presence of a crack in the coating of the road-reducing the load – bearing capacity of the road structure at the place of its formation. The crack resistance of asphalt concrete decreases during the operation of the coating due to a number of reasons: deterioration of the properties and structure of asphalt concrete under the influence of internal and external factors (water, freezing-thawing, air oxygen, ultraviolet and infrared irradiation, the nature and degree of interaction of bitumen with mineral material, the structure and composition of bitumen, etc.), low-temperature stretching, aging of the binder, etc. The authors of these studies set the task to check the quality of the properties of bitumen BND 60/90 and BND 90/130 with the introduction of polymer additives, carbon black, etc., as well as asphalt concrete mixtures with the introduction of polystyrene and polyurethane foam and other additives in the construction of road surfaces in hot summer climatic conditions to increase the crack resistance of asphalt concrete coatings. The paper presents an analysis of the main parameters of transverse cracks in the city of Bryansk on the streets: Fokina, Sovietskaja, Gorbatova, Krahmaleva, as well as road surfaces of the Bryansk region.

Crack is one of the major distresses in asphalt concrete pavements, which could significantly reduce the safety and amenity of driving, even the performance of the whole pavement structure. By means of diverse crack repairing manners, the durability and whole service life of the pavement can be improved and extended. After repairing, a composite structure of the repairing system is formed which consists of new crack filling materials and original asphalt concrete matrixes. In order to resist the external loads on the pavement, the composite structure mush work as an integrated structure and maintain sufficient adhesive strength. Therefore, the deformation compatibility of the composite structure is the vital performance for the stability and durability of the entire repairing system. In this study, a modeling analysis for the composite structure under various service conditions was carried out utilizing MIDAS software. The vertical and transverse deformation, transverse and longitudinal normal stress were analyzed by simulating the composite structure under several serving conditions. Based on the results，it was found that the strain, stress and related properties of the repair material and asphalt concrete matrixes could meet the requirements for an asphalt concrete pavement, and the compatibility of the composite structure was also satisfactory.

New Criterion

Domestic methods of designing and calculating non-rigid pavements were modified in parallel with changes in the load-carrying capacity of vehicles and an increase in the average traffic intensity of cars. With the increase in the level of costs for the construction and repair of road clothes, the level of responsibility for design has increased. However, more often at the operational stage, early defects of asphalt-concrete layers are detected and premature reduction of the bearing capacity of the structure as a whole. This only indicates that the prediction of the service life in the design of traditional methods is not reliable. The reasons for this may be several: erroneous determination of the number of cycles of the annual loading of the structure, a distorted or ineffective consideration of the climatic conditions of operation of the road-building materials of the layers, an inaccurate technique for determining the maximum permissible and emerging deformations, and also accumulating them during operation. As a result, the issues of construction of road clothes, requirements for them and the design of highways in general are being revised. Obviously, the traditional method of calculation, as a minimum, can not be considered universal. The authors presented a new approach to calculating the strength of non-rigid pavements by the criterion of accumulation of fatigue damages of asphalt-concrete layers, which can provide reliable prediction of the pavement life cycle, because it is based on the multifactorial influence of external environmental impact. Modeling such a multifactor process as the life cycle of a design is a complex computational task. Active integration of computer technologies into modern life and construction processes allows solving this task with the help of a computer, by developing application programs. At the department of «Highways» DSTU developed a software package Pavement Life Cycle, able to make calculations based on a new criterion for calculating non-rigid road clothes. The article is part of the dissertation research of the second author.

Постановка задачи. Необходимо рассмотреть технологию ремонта дорожных покрытий нежесткого типа с применением холодных асфальтобетонных смесей на битумах марок БНД, СГ и МГ. Требуется разработать математическую модель конструкции автомобильной дороги, позволяющую демонстрировать распределение температуры по толщине слоя покрытия в зависимости от конструктивных параметров дороги с учетом теплофизических свойств материалов и температурных условий её эксплуатации. Также надлежит уточнить влияние температуры смеси на предел прочности холодной смеси заводского производства. Следует провести ремонт выбоин покрытия в производственных условиях при пониженных температурах воздуха. Результаты. По результатам моделирования распределения температуры в слое покрытия доказано, что применение холодных асфальтобетонных смесей обеспечивает высокое качество ремонтных работ при температуре воздуха выше 30 °С. Получены данные о зависимости температуры нагрева основания от температуры воздуха и толщины слоя, которая обеспечивает температурные режимы холодной смеси при её уплотнении. Установлено, что предел прочности покрытия зависит от температуры. Максимальная величина предела прочности холодного асфальтобетона заводского производства обеспечивается при температуре уплотнения смеси 50-55 °С. Проведенный ремонт выбоин дорожного покрытия при пониженных температурах воздуха доказал возможность выполнения ремонтных работ с высоким качеством в данных производственных условиях. Выводы. Доказана эффективность нагрева основания выбоины перед укладкой холодной асфальтобетонной смеси при ремонте дорожных покрытий нежесткого типа со снижением температуры воздуха ниже 5 °С. Установлено влияние температуры основания покрытия на ее равномерное распределение в зависимости от температуры воздуха и толщины слоя покрытия при выполнении ремонтных работ. Полученные данные о зависимости предела прочности холодного асфальтобетона заводского производства от температуры воздуха позволяет определять параметры уплотняющих машин, обеспечивающих высокое качество ремонтных работ. Statement of the problem. It is essential to consider the technology of repair of road surfaces of non-rigid type using cold asphalt-concrete mixtures on bitumen grades BND, SG and MG. It is important to develop a mathematical model of the road structure that enables modeling the temperature distribution over the layer thickness, depending on the design parameters of the road considering the thermal and physical properties of materials and the temperature conditions of the road operation. It is also necessary to specify the effect of the mixture temperature on the tensile strength of the cold mixture of factory production. Potholes of the coating must be repaired at low air temperatures of different repair technologies in production conditions. Results. Based on the results of modeling the temperature distribution in the coating layer, it is proven that the use of cold asphalt-concrete mixtures ensures high quality of repair work at air temperatures above +30 ° C. The dependence of the heating temperature of the base on the air temperature and the layer thickness is obtained, which provides the temperature conditions of the cold mixture during compaction. It is established that the ultimate strength depends on temperature. The maximum value of the strength limit of cold asphalt concrete of factory production is provided at the compaction temperature of the mixture at +50-55⁰C. The repair of potholes of the road surface carried out in production conditions at low air temperatures proved the ability to perform repair work with high quality of work. Conclusions. It is proven that it is effective to heat the base of the pothole during repair on non-rigid road surfaces at low air temperatures before laying a cold asphalt-concrete mixture. The influence of the base temperature on its distribution over the layer thickness depending on the air temperature and the layer thickness during repair work is established. The obtained dependence of the strength limit of cold asphalt concrete of factory production on temperature allows us to determine the parameters of compacting machines that ensure high quality of repair work.

Generally speaking, the asphalt concrete pavement will be affected by the temperature and aging when it is in the use, which makes the modulus of asphalt mixtures change as non-uniformity gradient. This paper assumes the different changes on the modulus of surface layer with different gradient and then researched the mechanical characteristics of asphalt concrete pavements with cracks and no cracks by the finite-element method . Moreover, the research focused on the stress and K I & K II of the asphalt concrete pavements affected by the modulus of surface layer changed as non-uniformity gradient. The results demonstrated that the larger the gradient on the modulus of the surface layer,the bigger the tensile stress and K I and K II of the asphalt concrete pavements, and K IIis even much bigger than K I. Consequently, it is of great importance to take into account the effect of the modulus of surface layer changed as non-uniformity gradient. It also makes a great significance for the revision of pavement design and the analysis of pavement damage mechanism.

This is the second article in a series of two papers describing simulation of functionally graded viscoelastic properties in asphalt concrete pavements. The techniques developed are applicable to other viscoelastic material systems with continuous, spatial grading of material properties. A full-depth asphalt concrete pavement has been simulated to demonstrate the applicability and importance of the graded viscoelastic analysis method. Based on the graded finite elements developed by Kim and Paulino[1], Buttlar et al. [2] used graded finite elements to determine typical responses to tire loading for an aged asphalt concrete pavement. In the current study, a similar pavement section is studied using the viscoelastic graded analysis (rather than elastic). Graded, layered and homogeneous material variations were used for a series of simulations, and the results from different approaches were compared.

Highways are the most important component of country's economic development. They are a complex of engineering structures that are subject to various kinds of deformations during operation. The causes of premature defects are outdated technologies, poor quality materials, high traffic loads, and weather conditions. On average, after 2–3 years of the new road operation, pits, overflows, potholes, cracks, rutting occur on asphalt concrete pavement, its presence worsens the traffic conditions on the road and violates the unimpeded passage of cars. To extend the life cycle of a transport object, there are preventive measures that prevent the destruction of road surfaces. Such activities include regular maintenance and repair work. One of the effective measures is the use of road impregnation materials (RIM). Road-impregnation materials are used in case of need to prevent aging of the organic binder in the composition of asphalt concrete in the coating, as well as to reduce the impact of external factors. In this article, the influence of the basis of the impregnating material of two manufacturers on the indicators of the properties of asphalt concrete of various degrees of destruction is investigated. Among the considered impregnating compositions, solvent-based road impregnation materials proved to be the most effective. It has been established that the abrasive effect on samples of asphalt concrete significantly reduces the effectiveness of impregnating materials, especially based on bitumen emulsion.

The article considers improvement of the methodology for accounting for the degradation of asphalt concrete working in the upper layers of the pavement. Development of recycling technologies for road structures is an ongoing process; it allows reaching a higher quality of reclaimed materials and using them for subsequent construction of structural layers, including the upper layers without the protective ones, as well as during repair and reconstruction of roads of various technical categories. At the same time, the system of pre-project assessment (diagnostics) of the state of asphalt concrete pavements cannot be considered optimal and effective because the determined indicators demonstrate that, firstly, various surface and structural defects are present, and, secondly, that the indicators mentioned above are more relevant to the road structure as a whole. The joint handling of the theoretical and experimental data allows concluding that damageability level depends on the physical, mechanical and structural properties, the main being maximal structural strength and the number of elastic bonds involved in the deformation process. A variant of modelling of asphalt concrete damageability depending on the work capacity is proposed, when the reduced amount of dissipated energy is replaced with sufficient accuracy for practice by the ratio of the actual number of load application cycles (freezing and thawing cycles) to the limit. A correlation between the level of damageability and the kinetics of changes of the interpore space of asphalt concrete under the influence of strain (temperature, climatic factors) has been established. Results allow fixing (predicting) the level of damageability by measuring the level of water permeability. The research methodology and equipment for implementation thereof was developed earlier, it can be effectively used at the stage of pre-project diagnosis.

The article sets out to explore reasons for the development of shear strains and rutting in asphalt pavement as well as to suggest and describe the main methods for reducing the deformation. The impact of geosynthetic materials is defined through reological characteristics of asphalt: the modulus of elasticity and the viscosity of asphalt. The research has been conducted on the experimental road section in the city of Vilnius. The measurements have been based on the plate‐bearing test. Sustaining the measurements results is defining the dependency of geosynthetics materials on the depth of rutting and the modulus of elasticity of asphalt concrete. The paper also includes regression equations which show the interdependence of the modulus of elasticity of asphalt concrete and the depth of rutting.
