Description
Abstract: The paper is devoted to high modulus asphalt concrete, more commonly known as EME or HMAC. The general characteristics of the mixture were presented, with particular emphasis on fatigue life and the impact on the design life of the pavement structure, based on experience from various countries. Computational analyses of typical structures were carried out using the mechanistic method, the impact of the use of EME type mixtures was demonstrated, also indicating the potential for use in long-life pavements, and typical solutions adapted to the traffic category were proposed. Calculations were carried out using the deterministic and probabilistic methods using the NOAH software.
