Long-term performance study of different pavement structures<br />
A ten year study of flexible, semi-rigid and rigid pavement structures, 1996–2006<br />
Abstract (background, aim, method, result) max 200 words:<br />
In connection with the construction of a new part of the European road 6 (E6) close to the city of<br />
Halmstad, (section Fastarp-Heberg), the Swedish Road Administration decided to investigate the longterm<br />
behaviour of different types of pavement structures. <strong>VTI</strong> got the mission to make documentation<br />
during the construction and to follow-up the performance of these pavement structures on selected<br />
sections. The total length of this new road was 21 km and 1/3 was constructed with flexible pavement<br />
structures and 2/3 with rigid pavement structures (cement concrete). The road section was opened to<br />
traffic in the autumn 1996.<br />
The main objective of the study is to investigate the pavements’ resistance to rutting, both regarding<br />
wear from studded tires and deformation from heavy traffic. The objective is also to study surface<br />
characteristics, such as evenness, friction and noise.<br />
This report includes results and analyses from the first ten years of the study (1996–2006).<br />
