Article presents the comparison of performance of selected road sections in north-eastern Poland constructed under typical contract conditions, with the usage of High Modulus Asphalt Concrete and typical Asphalt concrete The field investigation comprised of the assessment of: the number of transverse thermal cracking, the bearing capacity and the load transfer coefficient around the thermal cracks. The FWD test confirmed lower deflections of the road sections constructed with base courses made of High Modulus Asphalt Concrete and presented two times higher values of the stiff ness modulus of those pavements. The load transfer coefficient for pavements constructed with base course made of High Modulus Asphalt Concrete indicated almost lack of load transfer around the thermal cracks. In was very surprising as the tested roads were quite new (2-7 years) and with high bearing capacity. The article was made on the basis of the paper presented on BESTInfra conference, which was held in Prague.
