Abstract
The present paper deals with investigations conducted on deformation of asphalt mixture in road pavements. Since loads are constantly applied to pavements in a certain direction by passing cars, the wheel tracking tester was modified so that the wheel loads were applied in one direction only. It has been pointed out that deformations are more likely to occur under loads applied in a single direction. Burial of steel strips joined together in a grid in the asphalt mixture was proposed as a method of reducing the deformation. The test results indicate that the burial of steel grids is a most effective way of reducing the deformation.
