ABSTRACT
It is noted that the durability of asphalt concrete pavements is determined by the time of the trunk cracks formation in the polymer-containing composites in the modified by elastomers (e.g., by rubber) bitumenous binder of asphalt. Developed by the authors [1] previously the theory of the cracks propagation in heterosystems has allowed to investigate the problem of the cracks propagation in the rubber-bitumen composite. This investigations show that most effectively to prevent the trunk cracks formation in asphalt concrete can ultrafine rubber particles (150-750 nm) in a bitumenous binder of asphalt.
