INCREASING THE DURABILITY OF PAVEMENT ON REINFORCED CONCRETE ROAD BRIDGES

Iryna Mirchuk

Highway bridges are an important part of the transportation infrastructure, as they ensure the uninterrupted movement of vehicles and cargo. Due to the peculiarities of asphalt pavement operation on bridges with reinforced concrete roadway slabs, as well as the negative impact of weather conditions and the use of deicing materials, such pavement is more often subject to defects. In order to minimize pavement damage on road bridges and increase their durability, it is necessary to improve certain aspects of conventional asphalt mixtures, such as rutting and cracking resistance. Today, one of the methods to ensure increased durability of asphalt pavements is to modify asphalt mixtures or bituminous binders. The use of asphalt concrete pavements with increased durability is an effective method to increase the overhaul period and, as a result, reduce the cost of maintenance of road bridges. And the use of asphalt mixtures modified with rubber crumb will provide a partial solution to the environmental problem, such as the accumulation of waste from the rubber industry
