Cause Analysis of Asphalt Pavement Rutting on Section N5 in Pakistan

Abstract

It was well known that rutting is one of the most common types of pavement distress for asphalt pavement under heavy vehicle loading in hot climate. In this study, the cause of rutting on highway N5 in Pakistan was reviewed in detail, mainly including climate conditions, pavement materials and traffic control. It was concluded that local conditions should be carefully considered for projects either designed or constructed by Chinese companies during the implementation of ‘One Belt, One Road’ strategy.
