Verification of the Criteria for Evaluation of Water and Frost Resistance of Asphalt Concrete

The paper presents the results of field investigation - condition survey of existing pavements and the results of laboratory tests on water and frost resistance of samples cored from the these pavements. The purpose of testing was to verify the criteria for evaluation of the resistance of asphalt concrete to the action of water and frost by way of comparing the results of field and laboratory tests, followed by evaluation of their reliability. The results of field and laboratory tests were subjected to comparative analyses. The output of these analyses includes conclusions and recommendations.
