Title:

Application of the MMLS3 as apt tool for evaluating asphalt performance on a highway in Namibia

Publication Year:

Abstract:

Since 1997, the MMLS3 has been used as an APT tool to evaluate asphalt performance. This paper discusses a case study in Namibia in which performance of newly constructed rehabilitation asphalt on Highway B1, south of Windhoek, was evaluated. Two aspects were investigated, namely use of lime to counteract stripping of binder under wet trafficking and evaluation of the effect of compaction density on performance of the mix. Wet, dry, laboratory and field tests were utilized. Keywords: Rutting, moisture damage, semi-circular bending strength, lime treatment, construction.
