The Rehabilitated AASHO Test Road. PART I. Materials and Construction
The Working Committee for the AASHO Road Test project recommended extending the study of the AASHO Road Test under mixed traffic at the site near Ottawa, Illinois. New subbase materials introduced under rigid pavement were crushed stone, gravel, bituminous-aggregate mixture and cement-aggregate mixture, but the only new subbase material used under the flexible pavement was gravel. Except for portland cement concrete, base materials such as salvaged crushed stone-special, crushed stone, bituminous- and cement-aggregate mixtures were similar to those used in the original AASHO Test Road. As a side study, the bituminous surface was altered in several test sections either by adding asbestos to or by substituting hydrated lime and kaolin clay for limestone dust mineral filler. The new experimental highway, which was opened to traffic in November 1962 as a part of Interstate 80, has 85 rigid and 43 flexible test sections.
