Construction with unbound road aggregates in Europe

Objetivo

In summary the objectives of the project are:

- To extend and deepen the understanding of the fundamental mechanical behaviour of unbound granular materials.

- To provide a means of characterising this behaviour in a manner suitable for application in pavement design and performance prediction, partly by developing appropriate models.

- To attempt to validate this description with real pavement performance data.

- To apply the knowledge gained to develop better materials and better methods of use.

- To draft the consequent findings in a manner appropriate for European pavement design and maintenance personnel.

The demonstration sites are expected to be: - Finland-VT 4 in Northern Finland - Finland-2 no. TPPT National test roads - Iceland-to be determined - Ireland-to be determined - Portugal-Experimental test road IC1 - Slovenia-National test road - France-Full scale accelerated experiment at LCPC Nantes

There is a very close linkage with the work of the COST 337 Action Collaboration with the 3rd Call Transport RTD project called "ALT-MAT" as well as national research efforts.
