The use of asphalt in hydraulic engineering

Manual for the design and execution of bituminous layers in hydraulic structures, like on dike revetments, bed protections, etc. Includes asphaltic concrete, open stone asphalt (fixstone), sand asphalt, mastic, etc. Also guidance is given for compostion and properties of asphalt mixes.

Asphalt revetments on dyke slopes

lt was assumed that the quality and long term stability of new asphalt revetments could be improved by achieving higher compaction densities. The task of the Committee was to verify this assumption and determine under what conditions the improvement could be achieved. Bituminous binders and structures are Iiable to be damaged not only by...
