ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: In Japan, bagged cold asphalt repair materials are usually used for repairing pavements. They are not as strong as hot asphalt mixtures and are therefore mainly used for the temporary rehabilitation of lightly trafficked roads. In recent years, various highly durable cold mixtures have also been developed, but none match up to the quality of hot asphalt mixtures. Representative problems caused by cold mixtures include rutting and aggregate scattering, particularly immediately after traffic release and during the summer, as well as the limited use in rain or on wet areas.
