STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PAVING FOUNDATION (TRANSITION LAYERS) OF ASPHALT FACING

Abstract

In the construction of asphalt facing, which is used for dams and reservoirs, the performance of transition layers as a paving foundation much affects their stability.
Transition layers as a paving foundation requires not only strength, flexibility, permeability, but also adhesion to integrate with asphalt facing.
This report proposes the optimum design and construction method of transition layers by testing the function of transition materials through material experiments and construction site pavement experiments, and by proving the function in the construction.
