ABSTRACT

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. Two sections in Austria and Portugal were constructed and test samples were cut from the pavement and send to the different laboratories. 13 laboratories of 12 countries participated in the study and gave performance predictions according their own methods and standards. The report which summarizes the results in detail is available on the RILEM web site. RILEM TC 206 ATB TG 4 continued the long term observation. Unfortunately, only the Austrian section in Villach could be monitored as planned, since the Portuguese section had problems in the data supply. In 2007 the Austrian road administration stopped the observation of the test section in Villach. The paper summarises the actual road condition and compares it to the predicted performance.
