Abstract

The former RILEM TC 182 PEB organized 1997 an international interlaboratory test on pavement performance, prediction and evaluation. The aim was to predict the expected damages after 10 years on the basis of traffic and climatic data by testing samples that were cut from the newly constructed road. One section in Austria was monitored as planned until 2007. Thirteen laboratories from 12 countries participated in the study and provided performance predictions for both sections according to their own methods and standards. This chapter summarises the road condition after this long term performance observation and compares it to the rutting results from those laboratories which performed dynamic rutting tests on more than one pavement layer and based their prediction on their own test results and models without relying on national requirements.
