With China's rapid economic development, traffic and heavy-duty vehicles increased significantly. Asphalt pavement failure caused by heavy traffic is increasingly prominent.Pavement's service life was greatly reduced. On the basis of extensive research and theoretical calculation the article analyzes the impact of heavy traffic on the asphalt pavement service life from three aspects of rutting,ultimate failure and fatigue failure, provides a theoretical basis for heavy traffic asphalt pavement structure design.

The road network is a land transportation infrastructure that plays an important role in the transportation sector, especially for the balance of the distribution of goods and services, both from other regions. In this study, an analysis was conducted to find out how the influence of heavy vehicle volume increase on the service life of the road, while the method used was Bina Marga, the study was conducted by taking a case study on the Hera road section until Dili. This research is expected to find out how the service life of the road if the volume of heavy vehicles continues to increase. If the% of heavy vehicles increases, the thickness of the required surface layer will also be even greater. When% of vehicles or carrying heavy traffic loads are increased, the thickness of the existing layer cannot meet, because the calculation results with% of heavy vehicles increase by 10%, surface thickness 17.2 cm / This will cause the service life of the road to decrease because it is confirmed that the road will be damaged before the service period ends due to excessive load increase in heavy vehicles.

The new ways of anti-rutting was put forward by improving modulus of asphalt concrete and the effect of HMAT(high modulus asphalt concrete) on rutting is studied in view of mechanics; The cause of asphalt pavement track is closely related to pavement structure under load. Starting from the mechanism of rutting, the mechanical property of HMAT and the effect of modulus in middle layer on the rutting were analyzed; the dynamic stability and modulus of HMAC were analyzed by text and the result show that Increase of the dynamic stability and modulus of HMAC went against rutting; The mechanism of pavement structure was analyzed by the numerical analysis show that the maximum shear stress occurred in middle layer of pavement structure according to mechanical calculation. HMAC can raise modulus of elasticity of middle layer. HMAC can also improve stress state of pavement structure, reduce shear strain and prevent asphalt pavement track.

Viewing so many overload vehicles, this paper analyzes the stress distribution of asphalt pavement structure under heavy traffic theoretically, according to the main asphalt pavement structure form in our country. By using elastic layer theory and BISAR3.0 program, analyzed the mechanical response variation of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement under different axle loads. The results showed that the mechanical response and the stress indexes of pavement structure under heavy traffic changed significantly. Therefore, in asphalt pavement design, the impact of heavy traffic should be fully considered and we must take measures to control the overload situation.

Highways are the most important component of country's economic development. They are a complex of engineering structures that are subject to various kinds of deformations during operation. The causes of premature defects are outdated technologies, poor quality materials, high traffic loads, and weather conditions. On average, after 2–3 years of the new road operation, pits, overflows, potholes, cracks, rutting occur on asphalt concrete pavement, its presence worsens the traffic conditions on the road and violates the unimpeded passage of cars. To extend the life cycle of a transport object, there are preventive measures that prevent the destruction of road surfaces. Such activities include regular maintenance and repair work. One of the effective measures is the use of road impregnation materials (RIM). Road-impregnation materials are used in case of need to prevent aging of the organic binder in the composition of asphalt concrete in the coating, as well as to reduce the impact of external factors. In this article, the influence of the basis of the impregnating material of two manufacturers on the indicators of the properties of asphalt concrete of various degrees of destruction is investigated. Among the considered impregnating compositions, solvent-based road impregnation materials proved to be the most effective. It has been established that the abrasive effect on samples of asphalt concrete significantly reduces the effectiveness of impregnating materials, especially based on bitumen emulsion.

Nowadays, in order to improve asphalt pavement performance, durability and reduce environmental pollution caused by asphalt binder, many researchers are studying to modify asphalt concrete (AC) and find alternative paving materials to extend service life of asphalt pavement. One of the successful materials used in a modification of AC are fibers. Different types of fibers have been reinforced in AC mixture and improvements have been observed. This research studies the performance of glass wool fiber reinforced in a dense-graded asphalt mixture. Generally, glass fibers are known to have excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile modulus, 100% elastic recovery and a very high tolerance to heat. The glass wool fibers are commonly used as a thermal insulation material. In this research to evaluate the performance of glass wool fiber in AC, laboratory tests Marshall mix design test, Indirect tensile strength (IDT), Tensile strength ratio (TSR) and Kim test were conducted to determine a proper mix design, tensile properties, moisture susceptibility, rutting and fatigue behaviors. Results show that addition of glass wool fibers does affect the properties of AC mixture. The use of glass wool fibers showed a positive consistence results, in which it improved the moisture susceptibility and rutting resistance of the AC. Also result showed addition of fiber increased tensile strength and toughness which indicates that fibers have a potential to resist distresses that occur on a surface of the road as a result of heavy traffic loading. The overall results showed that addition of glass wool fiber in AC mixture is beneficial in improving properties of AC pavements.

The article sets out to explore reasons for the development of shear strains and rutting in asphalt pavement as well as to suggest and describe the main methods for reducing the deformation. The impact of geosynthetic materials is defined through reological characteristics of asphalt: the modulus of elasticity and the viscosity of asphalt. The research has been conducted on the experimental road section in the city of Vilnius. The measurements have been based on the plate‐bearing test. Sustaining the measurements results is defining the dependency of geosynthetics materials on the depth of rutting and the modulus of elasticity of asphalt concrete. The paper also includes regression equations which show the interdependence of the modulus of elasticity of asphalt concrete and the depth of rutting.
